Name Written in Water Lyrics


In the very center of my Soul
Is an Eye, from which emerges a sword
I just wish I knew what the sword was forPrison of childhood; a thousand suburban homes
Every highway across the West I've flown
Mesas in Utah, each standing like an ancient throneMy name written in waterIf these lines are my lastThey might well be remembered also as my first
And possibly even as my worstFear and solitude, faithful as any friend
Cannot even linger about after I descend
My name is written in water and I'm gone againMy name written in waterNone of this will last, just like melting ice
None of this, though how I loved the beautiful lights
You can never step in the same river twice
"What dreams may come, when shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause" said the Danish Royal
I wonder if I'll even get to keep my Soul
My name written in water

Cass McCombs (born in Concord, California in 1977) is an American singer-songwriter and performer. An enigmatic folk nomad, McCombs is a quintessentially American artist; "he's quietly become one of (the country's) finest chroniclers of fringe characters, a writer of heart-rending love songs and psychedelic odes to the natural world, a teller of tall-tales with a sense of humor dry as desert wood, and that rare folksinger who actually sings about the folk.
