Oskar's Drum In Water
I think of you in water
And coming out of water
Hair slicked black
Wet, I gasp
I think of you in wartime
And coming out of war
Your hands in knots
Red and can't grasp
The well is deep
Let's bathe in it
The well is deep
It'll hold us up
I think of you in wonder
And when the wonders explode
Stripped of mystery
What are we without eyeliner
And silvered endings of hope?
The well is deep
Let's bathe in it
The well is deep
It'll hold us up
Let's swim in the water
Savour the wonder
