Water song

I met the angel of the mind
and she taught me where to go
I met the angel of the body
and through her I came to know

that my mind is like an ocean
its waves to be distilled
into the lovers' potion
with which the body's filled

       tear me down now, turn me up
       and don't you take too long
       tear me down now, turn me up
       for the water song
       for the water song

I saw the flower of the spirit
and the blossom of my blood
that sways upon its slender stalk
and grows out of the mud

the spirit's like a forest
its leaves wend with the wind
that turns into a torrent
a flood where life begins

       refr.
