All Written Out in Numbers
Kate Stables
Nine for the nine ride shiners
Nine for the nine ride shiners
All written out in numbers
New water was slow trickling
Came out the ground all bubbling
Slow yourself down, stop jabbering
Holding your breath, not listening
All will be still
Seven for the seven stars, seven stars in the sky
And the heavens have it all, just a matter of time
Probability-wise, one of us has to die
But by the same reckoning, it will be fine
Nine for the nine ride shiners
All written out in numbers
One is one, and all of them
And evermore shall be so
All will be still
