Judy Collins - Wind, Water, Fire And Stone Lyrics
A dream came to me at nightWhen the boats were in the seaA dream of the black death of earthTwo voices came singing to meWind, water, fire, and stoneStorms of sand, closing over the sunSand, fire, water, and windHow can we begin again?But you can't sink a rainbowIn a world that is greenYou can't make the night any brighterBy even one starAwake, awake, awakeOh the rivers are poisonedAnd the lakes are goneThe dolphins are dyingAnd the whales have lost their songBut you can't sink a rainbowIn a world that is greenYou can't make the night any brighterBy even one starAwake, awake, awakeOnce I saw a manWho said he'd seen a flock of nightingalesOnce a child recalled the sound of rainLike silver angel's wingsLike a lost and homeless thingThe planet spins her way through spaceDrugged and battered like a womanWho can't recall her faceRemembering the way she used to shineRivers in the seaShine, herons on the wingAnd hear the crickets singA million forest birdsThe sea her mantle greenLike a banner of bright hairAround her shouldersBut you can't sink a rainbowIn a world that is greenYou can't make the world any brighterBy even one starAwake, awake, awakeWind, water, fire, and stoneStorms of sand, closing over the sunSand, fire, water, and windHow can we begin again?But you can't sink a rainbowIn a world that is greenYou can't make the night any brighterBy even one starAwake, awake, awakeA dream came to me at nightWhen the boats were in the seaA dream of the bright death of earth
