Deborah Crooks: Music

Adding Water to the Ashes

(Deborah Crooks)
words&music Deborah Crooks
I can see you standing by the doorway/barefoot and angry and gracefull all the same/you knew things I couldn't yet tell/the touch of earth/and music always filled your house/and I remembered there about living/and though the past is just the past/I've gone back to that old fire

and I'm adding water to the ashes/I've made a cross out of our love/I'm smudging my forehead to erase my doubt/I'm adding water to the ashes

sometimes a candle is all you need/the cry of a rooster/a marigold seed/the belief in something being born anew/....
