Down to the Water by Tim Seston Janet and Kate don’t interact with each other. Janet is watching Kate. Kate doesn’t know she is there. Janet The rhythms in the lapping of the waves The oars lie patiently to take a drink Kate: I tiptoe down the rocks wearing holes in all my socks Janet Time – stands – still Kate: I think Janet: The sun wakes up and reaches through the dark The moon just shakes its head and waves goodbye Kate: I step into the boat. Push off and there I float Janet: Time – stands – still Kate: I sigh Janet: Down to the water Kate: No place here on Earth I’d rather be Janet: Down to the water Time – stands – still Kate: with me Kate: I balance in the middle of the bout Janet: The wood is hard but greets me none the less Kate: In my hands I hold each oar - stroking further from the shore Janet: Time – stands – still Kate: Oh yes Janet: Down to the water Kate: No place here on Earth I’d rather be Janet: Down to the water Time – stands – still Kate: with me ----------- Janet: Down to the water Kate: No place here on Earth I’d rather be Janet: Down to the water Time – stands – still Kate: with me |
This song was fun to write because the water is definitely my favorite place at camp. I love the peace of boating, swimming, or just sitting on the shore of a calm lake at any time of the day. |
