AT THE WATERSIDE

Words and music by Sarah McQuaid & Zoë Pollock

Recorded on Mama: Crow Coyote Buffalo (2009)

I hear the water dancing 
In the stream that flows at my feet 
In the shadows, in the sunlight 
I am healed and I am at peace 

There are words and there are echoes 
There are voices whispering 
At the waterside 

I have lived and I have travelled 
Far from the country I came from 
In the shelter of this garden 
I have found a place to call home 

There are words and there are echoes 
There are voices whispering 
At the waterside 

And when the light is fading 
And evening is starting to fall 
I will stay here and take my refuge 
From the world’s insistent call 

I hear the water dancing 
In the stream that flows at my feet 
In the shadows, in the sunlight 
I am healed and I am at peace 

There are words and there are echoes 
There are voices whispering 
At the waterside
