The Dam At Otter Creek       
             
when all that's left to do 
is reflect on what's been done 
this is where sadness breaths 
the sadness of everyone 

just like when the guys built the 
dam at otter creek and all the 
water backed up 
deep enough to dive 

we took the dead man in sheets 
to the river flanked by love 
deep enough to dive 
deep enough to dive 
be here now 

we took him there and three 
in a stretcher made from trees 
that had passed in the storm 
leave the hearse behind 
to leave the curse 
be here now
