lyrics

There was a fiddlehead fern whirling in a sink.
There was a fiddlehead fern drowning in a sink.
Drifting from dull waters to the blackest depths.
When floundering in the ooze, he caught a glimpse of light.

“Though the brightness of the dark,
Though the fullness of the void,
Though the shiver of the idle,
There is no way but to pull the stopper out.”

There was a fiddlehead fern beholding a light.
There was a fiddlehead fern walking to a light.
The glow started to rise as he went up to the source.
There, like or as the rainbow of the skies, was a chanting seahorse.

“Though the brightness of the dark,
Though the fullness of the void,
Though the shiver of the idle,
There is no way but to pull the stopper out.”

“- Are you abiding here? Could I stay here too?”
But the magical fish kept on chanting.
“Don’t you fear the drought, if I pull the stopper out? Don’t you fear passing on?”
He was still singing:

“-Though the brightness of the dark,
Though the fullness of the void,
Though the shiver of the idle,
There is no way but to pull the stopper out.”
