lyrics

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
on 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

Squirrels Run the World
by Will Sings Songs

Will Sings Songs is my kids' music project. It's like Prairie Clamor, but more overtly nature-y and pretty outrageous. You do not need to be a child to enjoy these songs, trust me! Prairie Clamor
