Tumblers of tonic and boxes of wine To medicate maladies and buy you some time Before the world crashes in like a shot up the spine Spinning Like a planet in an empty sky Don't forget to write From the place you spent the night Never fear Be like the water my dear Be like the water my dear The hills you remember from when you were young They are still standing tall like the day you were born But in ten thousand years they will likely be gone By the water worn Don't forget to write From the place you spent the night Never fear Be like the water my dear Be like the water my dear You are an arrow shot from a womb You are destined for things that a destined for you There's a quivering wind and some fighting to do So keep your eyes open and pray that your aim is true Don't forget to write From the place you spent the night Never fear Be like the water my dear Be like the water my dear Be like the water my dear Be like the water my dear
