Lyrics

STAY TOGETHER FRIENDS
Inspired and expanded from a translation of Rumi by Coleman Barks


Stay together friends
Don’t scatter and sleep
Our friendship is made of being awake.
Stay a while, in this circle of Light
And drink from your heart
the sweet wine of Love
Stay here, quivering with each moment
Like a drop of mercury
Stay here, quivering

The waterwheel accepts water
Turns and gives it away, weeping
That way it stays in the garden of praise
Turning and turning in circles
Stay here, quivering with each moment
Like a drop of mercury
Stay here, quivering
