lyrics

Man put a hole in the earth/Settled down in the earth/Deep down in the earth/ Man put a hole in the earth/Row by row of the earth/And he fell and rose with the earth//

Man made a town of the meadow/ Broke the ground of the meadow/Settled down in the meadow/ Man measures life by the meadow/By the length of her shadow/ By her sighs, soft and shallow//

Chorus// And the clay makes its way through my veins/Smoothing out the ruddy walls of the river bank/Marble shining in the walls of the river//

The sky breaks our silence in mourning/With her cries in the morning/ A reckoning and a warning/ In our beds in the mud and the water/ Winter and summer/Ever one or the other//

Chorus// And the clay makes its way through my veins/Smoothing out the ruddy walls of the river bank/And the cold settles deep in my bones/Smoothing o’er the muddy shores of the river bank/Marble shining in the walls of the river/

Man put a hole in the earth/ Settled down in the earth/ Deep down in the earth//
