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 shit 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 shit 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 shit 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 shit to a tree
