Effigy Mounds

Stars are falling
Filling the boat
Time to row for shore
Time to row for shore
The light is dimming
Its time to go
Time to row for shore

I was talking to a friend the other night
he didn’t have long to live
Asked him when he knew it was time
and this is what he said —

Went to a spiritual place today
the bears were already sleeping
winter was near and the stars had all fallen

Stars are falling
Filling the boat
Time to row for shore
Time to row for shore
The light is dimming
Its time to go
Time to row for shore
