Sow a Rill, Reap a Tsunami

from A Brief History of Water by Hidden Galaxy Music

lyrics

It was the tiniest little smile
I've ever seen but it got me through the morning.
I'll bet you noticed when I held my breath
A subtle space in your speech that you had left.

Could it really have been just a flick
On the forehead that made me out like this?
I really don't think there's anything
You could have done to have spared me the beating.

I still struggle to say it.
But I'm convinced that when waters run still, they run deep.
So please don't give up on me yet.

Now and then I think that maybe
I should have tried a little harder to change.
I just want so badly not
To blame you for how I ended up but

Kitchen chairs and shaking hands
A concrete mess of salivary glands
Brown bag lunches and garbage bins
Kids in Africa and pavonine sins
I wrote this song a dozen times
This is the first one I didn't scream
Maybe in time my voice will sound
Like water flowing in a distant stream

I still struggle to say it
But I'm convinced that when waters run still they run deep.
So please keep listening a little longer I promise
Please don't give up on me yet.
