Wind, Water, Fire and Stone

歌詞

A dream came to me at night When the boats were in the sea A dream of the black death of earth Two voices came singing to me Wind, water, fire, and stone Storms of sand, closing over the sun Sand, fire, water, and wind How can we begin again? But you can't sink a rainbow In a world that is green You can't make the night any brighter By even one star Awake, awake, awake Oh the rivers are poisoned And the lakes are gone The dolphins are dying And the whales have lost their song But you can't sink a rainbow In a world that is green You can't make the night any brighter By even one star Awake, awake, awake Once I saw a man Who said he'd seen a flock of nightingales Once a child recalled the sound of rain Like silver angel's wings Like a lost and homeless thing The planet spins her way through space Drugged and battered like a woman Who can't recall her face Remembering the way she used to shine Rivers in the sea Shine, herons on the wing And hear the crickets sing A million forest birds The sea her mantle green Like a banner of bright hair Around her shoulders But you can't sink a rainbow In a world that is green You can't make the world any brighter By even one star Awake, awake, awake Wind, water, fire, and stone Storms of sand, closing over the sun Sand, fire, water, and wind How can we begin again? But you can't sink a rainbow In a world that is green You can't make the night any brighter By even one star Awake, awake, awake A dream came to me at night When the boats were in the sea A dream of the bright death of earth
