Ralph McTell - Genesis I Verse 20 lyrics

Mother of Adam how can I conceive The garden of light oh father of Eve Lo something stirs your still waters move from the land I see him turn twixt sea and earth see him stand Vapour and forest leaf fern and trees Volcano and rainstorm how slowly he breathes What do you feel what colours before your eyes Greatest of creatures do you see the sun rise. Lava and brimstone in air where no bird has flown Lake swamp and river skin of slippery stone Night time and cooling the moon is changing too Five days and lightening salt dried and whitening you Thunder and rainbow flower fruit and spring Above you the currents are moved by the leather of wings Tendagaroo does the minowing sea have a plan The time slips away and on the sixth day will come man.
