james r. murphy : the nurturing river
Songs
the nurturing river
the soothing slip to sleep
towns grate around my bed
twice again the sun returns
echoes
time again the clouds have burst
the pools lie stagnant in my mind
the harbor is a hung silence of grey
the oysters are too small
the day's mildness
tidings
the sun i see
the window is closed
the boat
the soothing slip to sleep
towns grate around my bed
twice again the sun returns
echoes
time again the clouds have burst
the pools lie stagnant in my mind
the harbor is a hung silence of grey
the oysters are too small
the day's mildness
tidings
the sun i see
the window is closed
the boat
