1982 Kathy Mar



You stared into the ocean as I stared at you one day

And I felt much more than saw the yearning rising with the tide

You turned it in your mind again before you turned to play

And a voice was in the ocean calling "ride, ride, ride

Ride the silver-blue current out to hear a green spirit

Sing the deepest chord the world has known

Rocking in the sea-cradle, you'll surrender all searches

Centuries of questions have all flown, like seeds upon the wind

Moments into time, verses into rhyme



You spoke to me of seeking and I sang your voice inside

To a music in the water so much older than your dream

Like some classical duet I played your search against the tide

But your music was like a silence with the stream calling

Ride the silver-blue current out to hear a green spirit

Sing the deepest chord the world has known

Rocking in the sea-cradle, you'll surrender all searches

Centuries of questions have all flown, like seeds upon the wind

Moments into time, verses into rhyme



In our race to find the reason and our fever to be free

There is often much more pain than we intend.  We are

Pieces of a puzzle we may never get to see

When the answer finds itself the game will end, and we'll

Ride the silver-blue current out to hear a green spirit

Sing the deepest chord the world can know

Rocking in the sea-cradle, you'll surrender all searches

Centuries of questions will all flow, like seeds upon the wind

Moments into time, verses into rhyme

Castles into sand, oceans into land

Sighing into breath, living into death
