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
