Lyrics 

Fierce and failing:
The blue shale.
The shawl on her pale head
Where the hair once fell.
 
I see it ailing:
The blue whale.
The tremor in the right hand
You could only hide so well.
 
When the cloud comes and you lose the sun
 
The history of the river: Just give it time to pass.
It was never ours. It’s only weather.
Red in the water
From the chemical wars. When the cloud comes and you lose the sun
 
I should be angry  Just give it time to pass. It’s only weather.
But I’m just tired.
The red water flowed from me
Before it was a child.
 
When the cloud comes and you lose the sun,
Just give it time to pass.
 
Days are fading. When everything is lost
Turtle dove. And you don’t know what to trust: trust the moss.
Crushed velvet in the hall,
The color of our love. Trust the geese criss-crossing their way back home.
 
Edged with pavers, When the cloud comes and you lose the sun
Crusher run. 
Trust the meadowlark in the sage brush, landing in a patch of sun
Fortify the forest.   
It’s only weather Trust the forest
It’s the only way it’s done.
Trust the moss
 
 When the cloud comes and you lose the sun,
 
Fierce and failing: When everything is lost
Just give it time to pass by, it’s only weather
The mother tongue.  And you are sky opening to the West
And you don’t know what to trust, trust the moss
Feeling the absence now You are sky opening.
Of all the ones I’ve lost.
Trust the geese criss-crossing their way back home.
And if I’ve learned one thing:  Just give it time to pass by.
A mother’s love 
Is a compass in the wilderness.
