  1. Let the Waters Flow

From the recording Let the Waters Flow

Share

Having grown up within daily eye sight of Dorchester Bay and the J.F.K. Library, I have a natural predisposition to be near a body of water.
My childhood home in Neponset sits within walking distance of Tenean Beach and I often crossed over the Beades Memorial Draw Bridge past Savin Hill and Malibu Beaches, trekking home from high school or jogging.
As an annual ritual and a a way to rejuvenate my spirit, I make it a point to spend some time in South Boston on Castle Island, my favorite waterfront destination in Beantown. As I walk around the Head Island Causeway which encloses Pleasure Bay, a tranquil lagoon, I’m completely surrounded by water. In a spiritual if not literal sense, this feels like “home” for me.
Living in Pittsburgh for many years, this song may also reflect the taken-for-granted but ever present, sub conscious influence of the three major rivers that flow seamlessly together at The Point, the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers that forms the Ohio River.
Along with the three rivers, the dominant topographical feature of hills and ravines officially makes Pittsburgh “The City of Bridges,” with a total of 446, three more than former world leader Venice, Italy!

Lyrics

The waters rise
The waters come and go
The waters ebb
The waters flow
 
The waters move
The waters grow
The waters come down
From mountain peaks of snow
 
Every cell in my body
Soon will be replaced
Leaves fall from the trees
Seasons show their face
Infants grow to be old men
And the waters never end
So let it go
Let the waters flow
 
The waters twist
The waters turn
The waters sooth
The waters burn
 
The river’s warm
The river’s cold
The river knows its destination
This I’m told
 
Chorus
 
Instrumental
 
Chorus
