Call the Water Songtext
von Prairie Clamor

That creekbed calls you when you′re on your own
If I slept on the river would you float me home

Masking tape and poems lying used up in our rooms
I was blinded by the lack of light and you let me know

So call the water whatever you want to
Cuz every creek's a river when it bisects me and you

Call the water the name that comes to you
Make a drainage ditch an ocean or the sea a drop of dew


In an instant, a moment′s ancient, etched away
An a jersey bed sheet or a paper towel, yesterday

Cold feet on colder tile, an icy bed
I pull open the window, I lay my head

Call the water whatever you want to
Cuz every creek's a river that bisects me and you

Call the water the name that comes to you
Make a drainage ditch an ocean or the sea a drop of dew

That flood of silence when you're on your own
We′ll ford the river and see the daydream through
