Drink Deep

Now the raging
of the forest fires ebbed
and all the mammals fled
I smell
in the charred darkness
a little green,
a little red
When you sang your song
your voice washed over the sea
Glacial run of a beautiful blue light
came o'er me
came o'er me
Drink deep, my love
for the water is gasping for your mouth
gasping for your mouth
Drink deep, my love
for the water is gasping for your mouth
I remember in the burning
secret magic expanse
a flame universe of bright golden light
I treasured a hope fast
but it was too hard to touch
I flew out with the cinders in the mighty black rush
Drink deep, my love
for the water is gasping for your mouth
gasping for your mouth
Drink deep, my love
for the water is gasping for your mouth
And the fire closed his eyes
Tipped his flame hat and slipped through the dire rye
We wandered romantic
and we scattered dark branches
With the singing green stars as our guide
With the singing green stars as our guide
Drink deep, my love
for the water is gasping for your mouth
gasping for your mouth
Drink deep, my love
for the water is gasping for your mouth
Drink deep, my love
for the water is gasping for your mouth
gasping for your mouth
Drink deep, my love
for the water is gasping for your mouth
