Atom Orr - Three Snake Leaves Lyrics

There's a woman, she spoke to me from beyond the sea
Where black waves and red foam bleed
She said, "Earthen Man, to see the world from a stranger's eyes
You must first die a little to let them inside"

As far as the sky is blue

Truth, truth is a pathless land
Nowhere to tread, nowhere to stand
Don't bother reaching out, it won't take your hand

As far as the sky is blue

Woman, oh woman, everything moves at the mercy of the sea
Twice more she'll come and then she'll be gone
Three Snake Leaves will bring her back to me
Flying two ravens, Thought and Memory
Eleven Poison Rivers and Nine Misty Worlds
I will cross to take you into my arms

As far as the sky is blue
