Drink Deep - Laura Veirs

Now the raging of the forest fires end

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 runoff

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

A secret magic expanse

A flame universe of bright gold and white

I treasured a holdfast

But it was too hot to touch

I flew out with the cinders in a 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 diorite

We wandered romantic

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 (x2)
