Lyrics:
My fingers feel a bit stiff,
Lullaby I'm like a child.
They twinkle tones and stir the old bones.
From behind the waterfall.
Thumbs that trace the lights that expose the voices.
This message is encoded.
It echoes and appears to rain a silver sprinkle,
and awake the rhythms of mystery.
Carry Me, Oh, carry me.

Drink the brew with dear open palms
Coconut and buttermilk.
I'm like a pilgrim and I have come, entranced by a scent.
Stretching to take the new breathe,
I'll dance around your tree.
Filter this spring clean,
And blow the dust away.
Tapping in to a new key hole.
Of polyphonic energy.
This song sits tucked just behind my ears.
Carry Me, oh, carry me!

Hammer down the metal,
clinky dream, rattling.
Melt in, link sync, locked with, everything.
My focus recreates itself,
Timeless suspension.
I'm here, it's right now, with you again,
With you...
Carry Me, oh, please carry me!
