lyrics

Though the water be light
You might still --have to hold your breath a while
Though the water be clear
You might still --have to stand along the shore
Though the water be free
It might help ---if you offer up a little bit
Though the water be blessed, and so full of benefit
It still can’t quite carry itself

When a story is broken into pieces
When the letters are floating right off the page
New Jersey is visible across the river again
I had taken the long way to get across
I had chosen a very low priority
Some things are promised, but not delivered yet

Telegraphic and terribly demonstrable
Transmitted from furthest point to right here
The future is visible across the river again
I was flying, “back in the day”
With both of my wings, “back in the day”
Some things are promised but hardly ever seen, yet
