Devendra Banhart - Water May Walk Lyrics

Artist: Devendra Banhart

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Folk

  • Songwriters: Devendra Obi Banhart

Water may walk
Daughter may walk
Mother may walk
Father may walk

Marth fell asleep in a perfect fire

Water in hands
Mother in hands
Brother in hands
Held in the hands

Of one million bending bones

I know it's name
You know it's name
Never above
Never above

One thousand mending moans

The fire inside
The silver inside
The hollow inside
The echo inside

The red setting sun inside

The earth has its eyes
The sea has eyes too
Brown mother eyes
Blue mother blue

And eyes are the stems of space

Mother may grow
Daughter may grow
Father may grow
And swallow the seed

Of trees in the chest of my mind

I've got some to give
I've like to give some
Love will still live
When our time is done

And earth be light, be light
