Salmon Song

They lay there hook-jawed and crimson
side by side in emerald pools
From a far away sea they came
these survivors of the silvery schools

How far they come
to love in clear water

love in clear water

Tired bodies torn and tattered
in their hidden world they do not cry
They are the progeny of a thousand years
and will sow their seeds and die

How far they come
to die in clear water

die in clear water

They lay there hook-jawed and crimson
side by side in emerald pools
From a far away sea they came
these survivors of the silvery schools

How far they come
to give life to clear water

life to clear water
