Frogs

Have you ever seen the fish deep up from a quiet stream

Shine a moment in the light?

Then fall away again

Have you seen it, sister?

Will you come outside and see?

Have you ever seen the rain

Turn the earth to mud?

And watch the mud turn gold in the rising sun

Have you seen it, brother?

Will come outside and see?

Will you go with me tonight?

Down to the low land field

To hear the frogs singing

The air so hard and stiff

Will you go, sister?

Will you go with me tonight?

Down in the flooded fields

The earth is wet and dark

Down in the flooded fields

Beneath the falling stars

Lie down in the dirt, brother

Be a mirror to the night

Lie down in the dirt, sister

We are mirrors of the night
