daniel amos - the pool lyrics
“the pool is very deep and cool
and nothing here is hard to do
nothing that should trouble you”
shrouded forms that start and sigh
as they p-ss this wanderer by
lakes that endlessly outspread
foamy blanket river beds
i stand, stand by the water, knee deep
deep in the fountain, now down, i go under
then rise up, rise up forever
the waves that mount and tumble high
i meet the melancholy sky
and all i have i count for loss
there in the clouds one single cross
“yes, deeply i have slept
and now i rise as one who has gone down
into the well springs of new life
down across the milk white sands
i wade out into the sleepy cove
and bathe in the holy stream
then suddenly
i shatter the level mirror of the lake
upon an everlasting tide
into the silent pool i glide
i plunge to wash this black heart clean
and rise a swan upon the wing
