-for etouffee

 

This is an army standing in form.

This is the sound of drums in the storm.

This is the ocean and that is a net.

These are the waves that are rolling deep red.

This is a woman and this is a daughter.

This is a man who has come for their water.

This is the edge and that is the top.

This is the cream and that is the crop.

This is a soldier and this is a brother.

This is the letter that comes to their mother.

This is the [echo} and this is the answer.

This is a girl who once was a dancer.

This is because and this is become.

This is the Savior cleaning his gun;

this is an army that stands by your bed

and these are the bells that are tolling deep red.
