Here we go again...
To be honest, I don't remember the first time I saw this posted, but it
was a few years ago. Of all the interviews, jokes, and various other
what-nots that I've saved from .gaffa, this is probably the one thing for
which I'd delete all the others...
I have absolutely no idea who first posted this.
-------------------------------
These lyrics were declared "official" by John Carder Bush:
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
Run on the ocean and the woman unfurls
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 life spray cools
For Now does ride in on the curl of a wave
And you will dance with me in the sunlit pools
We are of the going water and the gone
We are of water and the holy land of water
And all that's to come runs in
With the thrust on the strand
----------------------------------
One question for other love-hounds:
I've seen, in a number of places, a slight variation on this...I
think the other version I've seen says something like "We are of water
in the holy land of water." Any ideas as to which is correct?
