Apparently the words spoken by John Carder Bush are:

	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
