Sarah Slean Sounds Of Water
Just to hear the sound of water
Just to put the fire on ice
I'm lying down in the shower
Oh mercy loosen the vice
Sometimes the sword is so heavy
My pain has a ravenous mouth
In the pits of my own making
Sometimes I don’t think I’ll ever get out
Oh, the world stoking the comas
Madmen making the news
Bent over like a beggar
I was saying "it’s no use"
This ain’t a world for intelligent women
Unless you like swimming your own dark sea
These are times for urgent rhymes
But where the poetry?
When the light
The light is hard to find!
And you’re walking blind
You only need to change your mind
Your mind
Wide awake and hope-infected
I became a glittering queen
Every light in my direction
Was a bright, magnificent green
Adorned with invisible riches
I saw my stitches glowing so bright
No, the burden was not heavy
For the master it was light!
When the light
Light is hard to find!
And you’re walking blind
You only need to change your mind
You only need to change your mind
Your mind
When the light
The light is hard to find
When you’re walking, walking blind
The light
The light is hard to find
When you’re walking blind
You only need to change your mind
You only need to change your mind
Your mind
