Lyrics Devendra Banhart

Devendra Banhart

Water May Walk

Water may walk

Daughter may walk

Mother may walk

Father may walk

Marth fell asleep in a perfect fire

Water in hands

Mother in hands

Brother in hands

Held in the hands

Of one million bending bones

I know its name

You know its name

Never above

Never above

One thousand mending moans

The fire inside

The silver inside

The hollow inside

The echo inside

The red setting sun inside

The earth has its eyes

The sea has eyes too

Brown mother eyes

Blue mother blue

And eyes are the stems of space

Mother may grow

Daughter may grow

Father may grow

And swallow the seed

Of trees in the chest of my mind

I've got some to give

I've like to give some

Love will still live

When our time is done

And earth be light, be light
