lyrics

watercress
growing round the stones in the creek bed
hard to fathom such a thing as childhood
with it’s trembling joy and vulnerability

as i taste it now
suddenly i find myself there somehow
wading in the water
with my brother and my mother near me
and the trembling joy and vulnerability

precious little leaf
pure as a Celtic reel
bring me sweet relief
let me feel how I used to feel
when the world was new and shot through
with wonder
can i stay a little longer?

innocence
fair and fragile as a spider’s web
gleaming in the sun
are you traveling right along beside me
with your trembling joy and vulnerability

precious little life
quick as a Celtic reel
filled with love and strife
and still there’s so much left to feel
in this world that’s new and shot through
with wonder
can I stay a little longer?

watercress
growing round the stones in the creek bed
hard to fathom such a thing as childhood
with it’s trembling joy and vulnerability
