The Handsome Family

The Oldest Water

The Oldest Water

(album: Hollow - 2023)

Some water tastes colder
Been rattling through time
Flowing through bodies
Up into the sky

The oldest known water
Found deep in a mine
Spent billions of years
Bubbling in brine

Miles below rock
That old ocean flowed
Full of microscopic creatures
All together and all alone

So close to the edge
So close to the great divide

The first living cell
Growing fat in the shallows
Met the first stranger
When it split down the middle

But once made separate
There's no going whole
Water loves melting
And flesh eats alone

So close to the edge
So close to the great divide
