|
I am a water tower |
|
Heavy is my head |
|
And when the land around you is dying |
|
I will keep your fields fed |
|
I will keep your belly full |
|
I will keep your family whole |
|
I am indestructible. |
|
The things with tiny bones |
|
Scurry round my legs |
|
And they nag at me with their hopes; |
|
Little dreams for little heads. |
|
I wish I could clear them all, |
|
Sweep them up combustible, |
|
Burn them in a crucible. |
|
From their sacrifice a light |
|
To keep you company tonight |
|
Keep you company tonight. |
|
Snap them up like crocodile |
|
Retreat to river with a smile; |
|
Just to know |
|
They won't |
|
Be bugging you anymore, |
|
That's a fair reward. |
