Big Blue Heron (Parts 1-3)

from Water Came And Cooled Us All by Coo & Howl

lyrics

Daughters inside
Oh, little ideas of them now
All that implied happiness
Hiding in the atoms
Of how I have been feeling
Sealed in every pretty passer-by

Happiness moves like starlight
Across millions and millions of years
By the time it gets to me
The source is gone

I got distracted and,
For a minute there,
Froze like a great big, blue heron
And watched you move closer

I was refracted
In that salty inlet water
Distorted, but still whole
Bent, but bent toward you

We could have been a different thing
And held on to keep from getting cold
Or growing guarded

But I am a fixed point around which things revolve
And you are in orbit around another fiery light
