Verse 1:
A        Am7
I told a fish:

What you see as a palace is running water
   E          Am
The fish said: No.

What you see as those mountains is flowing matter

Verse 2:
A                        B
After our talk I saw the wall of rock
     E           B         C#m
as a wave in the middle of breaking
  A                 B
A rock slide echoes across the gorge
   E         B       C#m
my small perspective fading
A              B
Who am I but a blink of the eye?
   E             B          C#m
a stance that a river would take
           A                B
if it even wanted to pause

                           A                           B
The flashing glint on the marble where the eye once was
                 E        B/Eb    C#m
on a taxidermied marlin's frozen leap

A    B    E    B/Eb   C#m
         A          B
With our without me there to see
E    B/Eb       C#m
rain begins to fall
      A             B
back into the creek

E    B/Eb   C#m

I told a fish:
  E                             B                    A
I like how you move through the water as one flowing muscle
    E
The fish said:
