Snow cuts loose from the frozen
Until it joins with the African sea
In moving it changes its cold and its name

The reason I come and go is the same
Animal game for me
You call it rain

But the human name
Doesn't mean %#@! to a tree
If you don't mind heat in your river and

Fork tongue talking from me
Swim like an eel fantastic snake
Take my love when it's free

Electric feel with me
You call it loud
But the human crowd

Doesn't mean %#@! to a tree
Change the strings and notes slide
Change the bridge and string shift down

Shift the notes and bride sings
Fire eating people
Rising toys of the sun

Energy dies without body warm
Icicles ruin your gun
Water my roots the natural thing

Natural spring to the sea
Sulphur springs make my body float
Like a ship made of logs from a tree

Redwoods talk to me
Say it plainly
The human name

Doesn't mean %#@! to a tree
Snow called water going violent
Damn the end of the stream

Too much cold in one place breaks
That's why you might know what I mean
Consider how small you are

Compared to your scream
The human dream
Doesn't mean %#@! to a tree
