Drink Deep

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)
