swish swish swish swish swish swish
A subtle disconcerting breath of air
swish swish swish swish swish swish
It turns slowly and the breath is fair
swish swish swish swish swish swish
Quietly it turns and pops, and groans
Swish thump wish thump wish thump
Swish thump wish thump wish thump
Water begins to flow from deep down
Swish thump wish thump wish thump
Swish thump wish thump wish thump
Creek moan thump groan creek moan
The wind feels it’s way among blades
Creek moan thump groan creek moan
Swish thump wish thump wish thump
The water makes its way to the top
A bash sprinkle bash sprinkle chorus
Swish thump wish thump wish thump
Thump thump thump thump thump
Running water splash splash thump
Thumpity thumpity thumpity thumpity
Wind is cut among the blades, thump
Wash wash wash wash wash wash
Water runs up then down, up down
Thumpity thumpity thumpity thumpity
Woosh Woosh Woosh Woosh Woosh
Woosh chicathump Woosh chicathump
Woosh tic Woosh tic Woosh tic Woosh
Wind blowing full, water pumping up
Blades turned with the wind feeling
The full pressure, the fullness total
Woosh tic Woosh tic Woosh tic Woosh
Woosh tic Woosh tic Woosh tic Woosh
Feeling the hardness of years on end,
Feeling the days heat bearing down
Feeing it round again, making noise
Woosh tic Woosh tic Woosh tic Woosh
