[ti:water fire and smoke] [ar:teresa cook] [al:] [00:00.19]Water Fire and Smoke [00:01.34]Lyrist: Betsy Rose [00:02.63]Singer:Teresa Cook [00:03.43]by Veronica QQ121824895 [00:07.08]It's been a long journey to come to this place [00:14.58]I've traveled in time, I've traveled in space [00:21.85]I've traveled in circles and come face to face [00:28.99]With the water, fire and smoke. [00:41.60]I've pondered and worried, I've tightened the rope [00:49.39]Feasted on sorrow and starved out my hope [00:55.20]Now I come like a lover, my heart in my throat [01:02.73]Give me water, fire and smoke. [01:14.60]Water for cleansing my eyes and my ears [01:22.19]Fire the transformer of sorrows and fears [01:29.67]Smoke for my ancestors drawing them near [01:36.34]With the water, fire and smoke. [01:48.20](Chorus) So run from the churchyard, the word and the cross [01:55.55]Run to the forest, to the rivers and the rocks [02:04.63]You will find the green altar deep in the moss [02:13.94]You'll find water, fire and smoke. [03:02.07]Ancient the spirits of rocks, trees and wind [03:08.92]Ancient the rights of the green sacrament [03:16.57]Long before judgment, atonement and sin [03:23.52]There was water, fire and smoke. [03:35.11]I've laid down my burden, the weight of my years [03:42.81]Gods I have worshipped and causes held dear [03:50.47]But who will I be when they all disappear [03:57.20]Into water, fire and smoke? [04:08.66]I've knelt in the ashes, in peace may I rise [04:16.43]Empty of knowing and full of surprise [04:23.97]Clothed all in silence, a daughter baptized [04:30.89]In the water, fire and smoke. [04:42.59](Chorus) So run from the churchyard, the word and the cross [04:50.09]Run to the forest, to the rivers and the rocks [04:58.80]You will find the green altar deep in the moss [05:08.62]You'll find water, fire and smoke.
