Bowerbirds - Hush

I couldn't feel the earth move
in its slow dance with the cold moon
as I picked my steps over the ridge
quiet on my leather soles
I couldn't see the full sun this afternoon
I couldn't see the ferns as they bent and bowed
I couldn't see your eyes as clear as I ought to
as I crouched along the bank with you
There is a pull between our hearts love
There is an empty open mind
in the flock of swallows diving
diving and turning diving and turning
With the black winged birds
circling
in the glass pane of the creek
in the column of air
to the tall white sky
and in everything in between
and in everything in between
But hush says your mouth on my warm neck
Hush says the stream as it coils around
Hush my mind is much too loud
Let my breath like the tide go out
I feel the pull between our hearts love
I feel the empty open mind
in the flock of swallows diving
diving and turning diving and turning
With the black winged birds circling
in the glass pane of the creek
in the column of air
to the tall white sky
and in everything in between
