at the table with the mountain spirit

The great turtle swims amongst the stars
with the world upon his back

here
under yellow sun
i call to him in song,
"Away oh, Away oh! Swim swim
away oh!

the night, the night, Swim swim
away oh!

the day, the day, Swim swim
away oh!

Oh bear me through the stars
through life and then
away oh!"

When he hears me,
he smiles,
I think
but only know
from the warmth of my heart

and his rumbling reply,

"For
ever

for
ever

cool waters
deep waters

for
ever."

joy is there
in the one true song
where sunlight
and moonlight
and starshine
dance upon the water

we sing,
"Hey oh! Hey Oh! Hey Oh!
To Life! To Love! To death!
Hey Oh! Forever! Away Oh "
