Jig of Life lyrics (poem at end)

[jessica@athos.rutgers.edu (jessica)]

These are the lyrics as IED arranged them and posted them to LH.
I'm pretty certain that they are as accurate as could get except a
copy straight from JC himself. (IED is pretty good about things like this!)
Until very recently I used this poem as my .plan file! Anyway, here
it is:


 I put this moment..............................................here.
 I put this moment.........................here.
 I put this moment--


                          "Over here!
           "Over here!
            Can't you see where memories are kept bright?
            Tripping on the water like a laughing girl.
            Time in her eyes is spawning past light,
            One when the ocean and the woman unfurled,
            Holding _all_the_love_ that waits for you here.
            Catch us now for I _am_ your future.
            A kiss on the wind and we'll make the land.
            Come over here to where When lingers,
            Waiting in this empty world,
            Waiting for Then, when the lifespray cools.
            For Now _does_ ride in on the curl of the wave,
            And you _will_ dance with me in the sunlit pools.
            We are of the going water and the gone.
            We are of water in the holy land of water
            And all that's to come runs in
            With the thrust on the strand."


The poem is written by John Carder Bush, one of Kate's brothers.
