about

I wrote this song for my love, Dave Longstreth, about the time I took him to my most sacred, favorite place.

lyrics

Well I went to the waterfall in mid-December
and the air was so clean that it brightened my lungs and my mind.
I stood on the rocks below the falling water
In the place where as a child I caught a salamander.
Little Weeper, go to sleep now.
Things look better in the morning light.
You could cry all day and night now, couldn't you?
But go to sleep and you'll probably be all right.

As I stood on the rocks, I remembered your long legs
Wading nervously through the cold and shady riverside
And you walked across a log that had fallen in a storm
and you slipped and you fell but I caught you in my arms.
Little Weeper, go to sleep now
Things look better in the morning light
You could cry all day and night now, couldn't you?
But go to sleep and you'll probably be all right.
"Who is the searcher? Who is the colonist?
In time you will know the last wilderness"
Well I want to the waterfall in mid-December
and the air was so clean that it
Brightened my lungs and my mind.
I stood on the rocks below the falling water
in the place where as a child I caught a salamander
And the river said, "Papa knows his baby, Papa knows his child,
Lay your head beside the water, let your soul be wild"

Little Weeper, go to sleep now
Things look better in the morning light
You could cry all day and night now,
couldn't you? But go to sleep and you'll probably be all right.

I want the world to be cold like the one you're living in
