Lyrics
A hermit thrush told me about the hooting owls' tricks
They want to take you back to their Pennsylvania cricks
Although they're so far from your new life that you now know
Your important meeting, it was canceled, so you go
The dandelion daylight dies
You catch a dozen fireflies
A red delicious taste like fall
Well, it's all growing dark
Close your eyes
Sleep beside the Wissahickon
If you're not chicken
Good enough for any Wiccan
To dip their toes in
From your lips escapes a prayer
Do you believe in God?
As you are, she sees you there,
She's nodding as you nod
Streams of consciousness
Show what you suppress
Lost are all the others
You have found yourself at last
Baptized by the brothers
As you wade into the past
Psalms and prophecies
Set your heart at ease
Hold a stone and throw it
When it plunks, it scares a fish
Who darts away below it
Still the ripple grants your wish
God breathes in and puts out the light
The feeling of night
Sounds around astound you
as you stumble to your feet
"Bird song" and "Goose honk"
and "Bird song" and tweet
Sunlight warms the breeze
Touching through the trees
Jarred awake, you crawl aboard
Your gasping SEPTA bus
Thinking back on where you snored
You look back and smile at us
Sleep beside the Wissahickon
If you're not chicken
Good enough for any Wiccan
to dip their toes in
