Heron Lyrics

High on a limestone bluff

Hiding deep in the ground

Iceplant covered up the mouth

Of cavern pools you had not found

You still had time

Pulled back the vines

Was it what you had in mind?

Will you ever know?

You still have time

Pull back the vines

Will it be what you had in mind?

Here and there

The grey-blue heron

Watching in a fog

Patient in the shallows

Below the silver moss

And I'll be that stream of waiting

I will be among the reeds

Among the argent minnows waving

And the frogs on which you feed
