[Verse] I have walked the ridge Where wind unlaces clouds I've knelt at the spring I've met a stranger here The still pond gives back Whatever I bring to it The crow, the cedar and the sleeping stone [Rise] Mist on the water Nothing has spoken Mist on the water Nothing has spoken Yet [Chorus] The lake holds both The storm and the star The lake holds both And will not choose For me yet [Verse] Thunder walks the valley With a torch of broken glass River answers back to it With all mountain's silence Under this same flowing sky They wrestle in one body The wolf, the dawn and the abyssal frost [Rise] Mist on the water Nothing has spoken Mist on the water Nothing has spoken Yet [Chorus] The lake holds both The storm and the star The lake holds both And will not choose For me yet [Drop] I'm unfathomed and unlit I'm the fire in the root I'm a guest of the light I'd break the morning dawn [Bridge] Nothing here is owned Nothing here will last Snow will leave the reeds Before the noon is over [Rise] Mist on the water Nothing has spoken Mist on the water Nothing has spoken Yet [Chorus] The lake holds both The storm and the star The lake holds both And will not choose For me yet [Rise] Mist on the water Nothing has spoken Mist on the water Nothing has spoken Yet [Chorus] The lake holds both The storm and the star The lake holds both And will not choose For me yet
