lyrics

Stormy Water Kym Pitman

Been treading water and talking on eggshells
Trying to find the right words to say what you really mean to
Maybe it’s meaning that words can’t be found for
And time gets older in the search
chorus
And so you cry like the plover cries
On the tail of rain
And if you break, you break like stormy water
That rolls back in from the sea again

Take yourself by the hand, down to the water
That old wind sings timeless and true
Get lost in an empty mind - there’s nothing to find
Just the light changing your hue
chorus

Some times you’re the driftwood tossed up high upon the rocks
And you don’t know where you come from
You don’t know where you belong
But you’re waiting for the tide to take you somewhere
Sometimes you’re the old sand hill cut back and washed away
Some great wave must have come up really high one day
And left you rolling on a big tide
Some times you’re a stolen treasure of the wild kept estranged
And you’re searching for your place - your place

And so you cry like the plover cries
Calling for her mate on the tail of rain
And if you break you break like stormy water
That rolls back in from the sea again

The sun on a salty face and the past leaves hardly its trace
Just for this moment let it be
