A star on a tree (05:56)

(first version: "Elephantoms and horseas", 1995)(from "The best (I can do)")

0:00:00

Dance in the water, my little daughter
drink from the river, smile at the beavers
Fill your eyes
with the green and trembling boughs
For you have been chosen,
you won't be frozen like all of us will,
you'll pay our own bill
Live your time,
do the best that you can now!

No one on the Earth,
at your mercy the whole world
I've been not that lucky,
but maybe
far more lucky than you've been...
I knew you on a tree,
you were trying to catch a star
all alone with your determination
like a one who knows exactly how to do
maybe you'll succeed in what I didn't
And when the thing happened
you were seventeen,
and you ran up that tree
Catch that star,
you are nearer than you've ever been
all our hopes of frozens lies in you!

Dance in the water, my little daughter
Drink from the river, smile at the beavers
Fill your eyes
with the green and trembling boughs
Live your time,
do the best that you can now...
Now!
