I Spoke With A Fish

Lyrics for I Spoke With A Fish

I told a fish "What you see as a palace is running water" The fish said "No. What you see as those mountains is flowing matter" I said "OK" And after our talk I saw the wall of rock As a wave in the middle of breaking A rock slide echoes across the gorge My small perspective fading And who am I but a blink of the eye? A stance that a river would take If it even wanted to pause Recorded music is a statue of a waterfall The flashing glint on the marble where the eye once was On a taxidermied marlin's frozen leap With or without me there to see Rain begins to fall Back into the creek I told a fish "I like how you move through the water as one flowing muscle" The fish said "I dig your style too man"
