Throw A Cup Of Water

Throw a cup of water into the sea

Let it sink into the depths

Then find it for me

Climb up to the highest place

Songbirds can see

Will you recognize my face?

Now it’s set free

Then

Then you will see me again

Then you will see

Have you met my mother there

Frantic and kind?

Have you heard my father sing

Of older times?

Have you seen my sister go

Bicycling by?

Tell them that I’m older now

And tell them I’m fine

Then tell them they’ll see me again

Tell them they’ll see me again

Tell them they’ll see me again

Tell them they’ll see me

I’m floating here, it’s perfectly clear

This river unseen

Dissolves the form to which I was born in fiddlers’ green

The water bends, reflects where it ends, the river of song

I’ll sing a line and hear them reply

In currents so strong

Then

Then we will see you again

Then we will see you again

Then we will see you again

Then we will see you
