Águas de Março

It's stick, it's stone, it's the end of the road
It's a leftover stump, it's a little lonely
It's a shard of glass, it's life, it's the Sun
It's the night, it's death, it's the loop, it's the hook

It's peroba wood, the knot of the wood
Caingá, candeia, it's Matita Pereira
It's wind wood, fall from the cliff
It's a profound mystery, whether you want it or not

It's the wind blowing, it's the end of the hill
It's the beam, it's the gap, Feast of the Ridgepole
It's the raining rain, it's river talk
Of the waters of March, it's the end of the weariness
It's the foot, it's the ground, it's the road march
Bird in hand, slingshot stone

A bird in the sky, a bird on the ground
It's a stream, it's a spring, it's a piece of bread
It's the bottom of the well, it's the end of the road
On the face, the sorrow, it's a little lonely

It's a twist, it's a nail
It's a point, it's a dot
It's a drop dripping
It's an account, it's a tale

It's a fish, it's a gesture, it's a shining silver
It's the morning light, it's the brick arriving
It's firewood, it's the day, it's the end of the trail
It's the sugarcane bottle, the shard on the road

It's the house plan, it's the body in bed
It's the stalled car, it's the mud, it's the mud
It's a step, it's a bridge
It's a frog, it's a toad
It's a bit of bush in the morning light

They are the waters of March closing the summer
It's the promise of life in your heart

It's stick, it's stone, it's the end of the road
It's a leftover stump, it's a little lonely
It's a snake, it's a stick, it's John, it's José
It's a thorn in the hand, it's a cut on the foot

They are the waters of March closing the summer
It's the promise of life in your heart

It's stick, it's stone, it's the end of the road
It's a leftover stump, it's a little lonely
It's a step, it's a bridge
It's a frog, it's a toad
It's a beautiful horizon, it's a tertian fever

They are the waters of March closing the summer
It's the promise of life in your heart

It's stick, it's stone, it's the end of the road
It's a leftover stump, it's a little lonely
It's stick, it's stone, it's the end of the road
It's a leftover stump, it's a little lonely

Stick, stone
End of the road
Leftover stump
A little lonely
Stick, stone
End of the road
Leftover stump
A little lonely

Stone, road
Stump, lonely
Stone, road
Stump, lonely
Stone, road
And the stump
