lyrics

KEEP MOVING

I lumbar over the land, knees swollen
and knotted like giant kumara roots.
Who is that child so far down below
who reaches out to me? I can barely hear
his cry, he is simply too far away. I trudge
through drying braided rivers, I step
over tussocks brown hills. What do you say,
you small people waving your hands at me
from beside the lake? You think I should stop,
you want to help, the child needs me?
Huh. No, no, the heat is its own desperate cure,
the creaking legs need to keep moving,
the dry earth knows all about me. The child?
Oh yes, I can see him still, I think he's
getting smaller - isn't that strange ? Maybe
he'll disappear - meanwhile, I have my eye
on that razor pass through the mountains.
I think I may have been there before.
