Tidesong Cathedral

On the clay bowl,

I keep your name

Blue fig slices and salt on my tongue

You came like rain

through the palm grove shade

My hands were empty,

now they hold the sky

Stay

with me, stay with me Under the blue fig moon

Stay with me, stay with me My home is in your tune

I crossed the sand

with a quiet step

Carried my sorrow in a copper cup

You lit the room

with your steady eyes

Like lantern oil on the

edge of night

One breath will flow

One flesh will seal our one

Drying in the color of the evening sun

To pour as rain (ahhhh)

Stay with me,

stay with me

Soft as the desert rain

Stay with me,

stay with me

Call me by that name

We are the river,

and the river knows
