lyrics

Deep Quiet Waters
Letra y música: Lliam Greguez

The waters of Long Island Sound
were home and life to me
I'd fish on gentle buoyant swells,
rake oyster from the sea
clams I'd dig from the muddy shore
where kingfishers were angling
A seaweed coast on the Island of Shells
called Seawahakie.

And you can see the sun sparkle on the waters
waters that give life to everything around
The marsh lands and bays are a heritage that nurtures
the deep quiet waters of the Long Island sound.

This arm of the Atlantic Ocean;
glaciers dug 20 miles wide
The Quinipiac, Connecticut, and Housatonic
flow into its tides
From the river called East to Orient Point;
110 as the seagull flies
For 5,000 years
cared for by the Delaware tribe.

Now the harbors are becoming
lifeless liquid poison
Our wastes breed bacteria
which suck up the oxygen
Toxics dumped by industry
or plastic dropped by one person
It's a life supporting body
or a dead sea question

My life is filled with gull cries and
a constant muffled pounding swoosh
Music that is passed by
in a modern rush and push
Don't forget how we're dependant
on the health of plants and fish
If we take care of the waters
rejoicing in its gifts.
