The Stones Were Wet ft. John Scott Lyrics

I came like you

When young in body and in mind, and blown

By what seemed to me a lucky sail

The well was dry, I sat upon its edge

I waited the miraculous flood, I waited

While the years passed and withered me away

The years passed and withered me away

I have snared the birds for food and eaten grass

And drunk the rain, and neither in the dark nor shine

Wandered too far away to have heard the plash

And yet the dancers have deceived me. Thrice

I have awakened from a sudden sleep

To find the stones are wet
