Jig of Life

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?
