Come on down to the rushing river
Where life began for you and me
Before we took flight.
Come on up and we'll drink the moon
It's half full, I think, though I can't be sure
It's my first and last night.
Killing time like the mayfly
Taking one day to be born and
One day to die
Once, down in the Snake River Canyon
I sent my voice climbing up
For a mile, to hear
How, when it came back falling I knew that sound,
Like an ancient, ephemeral
Audio mirror
Killing time like the mayfly
Taking one day to be born and
One day to die
What do I know? Just what I read
Where the whitewater carved its own history
In the limestone
What do I want? Remember me
When the moon is half-drunk, and you're stumbling
And I'm long gone.
Killing time like the mayfly
Taking one day to be born and
One day to die
