[00:01]Waters of March
[00:06]Antonio Carlos Jobim
[00:09]A stick a stone
[00:11]it's the end of the road,
[00:13]it's the rest of the stump
[00:14]it's a little alone
[00:15]it's a sliver of glass,
[00:17]it is life,it's the sun,
[00:18]it is night, it is death,
[00:20]it's a trap, it's a gun.
[00:22]the oak when it blooms,
[00:25]a fox in the brush,
[00:26]the knot in the wood,
[00:27]the song of the thrush.
[00:28]the wood of the wind,
[00:30]a cliff, a fall,
[00:32]a scratch, a lump,
[00:33]it is nothing at all.
[00:35]it's the wind blowing free.
[00:37]it's the end of a slope.
[00:38]it's a beam, it's a void,
[00:40]it's a hunch, it's a hope.
[00:42]and the riverbank talks
[00:43]of the waters of march
[00:45]it's the end of all spring
[00:47]it's the joy in your heart.
[00:48]the foot, the ground,
[00:50]the flesh and the bone,
[00:52]the beat of the road,
[00:53]a slingshot stone.
[00:55]a fish, a flash,
[00:56]a silvery glow,
[00:58]a fight, a bet,
[01:00]the range of the bow.
[01:02]the bed of the well,
[01:04]the end of the line,
[01:05]the dismay in the face,
[01:06]it's a loss, it's a find.
[01:08]a spear, a spike,
[01:10]a point, a nail,
[01:11]a drip, a drop,
[01:13]the end of the tale.
[01:14]a truckload of bricks,
[01:16]in the soft morning light,
[01:18]the shot of a gun,
[01:19]in the dead of the night.
[01:21]a mile, a must,
[01:23]a thrust, a bump.
[01:24]it's a girl, it's a rhyme.
[01:26]it's the cold, it's the mumps.
[01:28]the plan of the house,
[01:29]the body in bed,
[01:31]and the cart that got stuck,
[01:33]it's the mud, it's the mud.
[01:34]a float, a drift,
[01:36]a flight, a wing,
[01:38]a hawk, a quail,
[01:39]the promise of spring.
[01:41]and the riverbank talks
[01:43]of the waters of march.
[01:44]it's the end of all strain,
[01:46]it's the joy in your heart,
[01:49]
[02:13]a snake, a stick,
[02:15]it is john, it is joe,
[02:16]it's a thorn in your hand,
[02:18]or a cut on your toe.
[02:20]a point, a grain,
[02:21]a bee, a bite,
[02:23]a blink, a buzzard,
[02:25]the sudden stroke of night.
[02:26]a pin, a needle,
[02:28]a sting, a pain,
[02:29]a snail, a riddle,
[02:31]a wasp, a stain.
[02:33]a pass in the mountains.
[02:35]a horse, a mule,
[02:36]in the distance the shelves.
[02:38]rode three shadows of blue.
[02:40]and the riverbank talks
[02:41]of the waters of march.
[02:43]it's the promise of life
[02:45]in your heart, in your heart
[02:46]a stick, a stone,
[02:48]the end of the load,
[02:50]the rest of the stump,
[02:51]a lonesome road.
[02:53]a sliver of glass,
[02:55]a life, the sun,
[02:56]a night, a death,
[02:58]the end of the run
[03:05]and the riverbank talks
[03:06]of the waters of march
[03:12]it's the end of all strain
[03:15]it's the joy in your heart
[03:20]
