lyrics

KOSKI* LISTENER

I am tree listener
I am tree singer
you know me as bird.

In the air I fly free
I dart in among the trees
you know me as bird.

I know every single tree
but only with my body
you know me as bird.

Koski listener
Koski singer
I float the rapids
hear what they say to me
the waters sing of
flowing to the sea
the water's song
heals you and me.

There are paths that no one sees
through the rocks
between the trees
through the waters
between you and me.
There are paths that no one sees
There are paths that no one sees
There are paths....
*Finnish word for river rapids.
