Laura Veirs Cool Water lyrics

Cool water
Cool water
Cool water

Cool water
Cool water
Cool water

I want to fly like a scroll unfolding
And float to a stone ledge
Wait for a moment 'fore spilling
Words to a hedge

And goin' away
Like a poem closed in a dresser drawer
You could say that's what they're for

You want to melt like bullion in a golden flow
And roll on down the hills

Back to the cracks, back to the deep
Where you can harden and get your fill

Of cool water in surround sound
Cool water in surround sound
Cool water in surround sound

Of cool water in surround sound
Cool water in surround sound
Cool water in surround sound

Well, my mackinaw feels too tight
My frozen jaw begs for the break of night
Songbirds and sounds of dawning light
Songbirds and sounds of dawning light
