Take Me to the Water was written in memory of a time I lived in a cabin next to a mountain stream in the mountains of PA with some friends. There, all seasons and phases of life were distinct and connected; it was a time of dreams.

lyrics

Take Me to the Water

Heart of spring
Dances in a robin’s throat
Out from nowhere comes
The sun’s first faint sudden glow.
Bound to the struggle
Bound to the rhythm and rhyme
And from the hills and valleys
Rise men and towns

Take me to the water
Let the water flow down
Take me to the water
Let it take me where I’m bound

Into the clearing
Strides a buck in stoic grace
And the archer’s arrow flies
Right into place
Before the evening fire
Eyes lock in passionate heat
While the ever changing nature
Of time strikes a beat

Take me to the water
Let the water flow down
Take me to the water
Let it take me where I’m bound

Down from the mountain
Float leaves of gold and brown
While the remnants of winter lay scattered
Cross frozen ground
Whispers in the lamplight
Whispers in the wind on high
And in the cold hour of dawn
Comes a new born baby’s cry.

Take me to the water
Let the water flow down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

about

Mark Browning Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Born into a military family, I have traveled all my life. Must have gotten into my blood. Never cared much for routine. I started out in biology, collecting reptiles for zoos and museums, but then traveled. Pruned apple trees in NY, farmed wheat in WA, painted houses in Key West, drove truck in NYC, published articles in magazines, hiked the Amazon and Andes... writing songs the whole time. ... more
