Pez Dorado

Echoes from a nursery rhyme

Hide in plain sight all this time

Here you come splashing in your summer clothes

You and your pale pink toes

Just there where the shadow falls

There we follow one and all

Can't resist the creeping dark

Ready to make our mark

Little red fish beneath the surface of the water

Testing the break point in case we get lucky

Ancient blood is patient blood

We were here before the flood

Waiting for our time to shine

Sparks in a silver mine

Shorebirds deal death all day long

We are weak but they are strong

Lose some friends along the way

Then in you come one day

Little red fish beneath the surface of the water

Scales in the sun, stars in a shot glass

Testing the break point in case we get lucky

Take your time, we've got all day

Days beyond that, come what may

If you get home tell all your friends

The spawning tide never ends

Say what you felt when you found us here

Here where the waters run crystal clear

One summer day in your summer clothes

The day you saw several ghosts

Little red fish beneath the surface of the water

Hungry for years, senses sharpened by the hunger

Testing the break point in case we get lucky

Testing the break point in case we get lucky
