Linen and Silt

Intro

Oh oh

Ay-yo

Ay-yo

Verse 1

Banks of the mud

Curving through the cracked red valley silt

Current moves slow

Ripples like the weave on your blue linen shawl

Pre-Chorus

Palm trees lean into the heat

White sails catch the noon day ghost

Feet sink in the golden cooling shore

Chorus

Flow on the water

Carry my soul to the ocean salt

Flow on the water

Wash every prayer from the dry stone vault

Deep within the rush

Deep within the prayer

Flow on the water

Verse 2

Stars start to pull

Dragging silver nets across the surface skin

Cicadas hum loud

Hiding all the secrets that the birds forgot

Pre-Chorus

Shadows stretch across the cliff

Spirits wake in the shifting sand

Cool winds find the empty wooden bowl

Chorus

Flow on the water

Carry my soul to the ocean salt

Flow on the water

Wash every prayer from the dry stone vault

Deep within the rush

Deep within the prayer

Flow on the water

Bridge

Under the reed

Under the moon

Under the dream

The current knows what the tongue won't say

The rhythm stays where the boat drifts away

Chorus

Flow on the water

Carry my soul to the ocean salt

Flow on the water

Wash every prayer from the dry stone vault

Deep within the rush

Deep within the prayer

Flow on the water

Hook

Way-la

Way-la

Flowing home

Flowing home
