The Endless Silent Rain

from L'Isola dei Lupi by Bob Drake

/

lyrics

Extending over millions of square miles
at the bottom of the sea
are a variety of oozes
consisting of microscopic remains
of one-celled animals
which have been raining down for millenia
and accumulating.

In addition to these microscopic shells
there are other ingredients too:
volcanic ash and meteoric dust
and grains of sand borne on lonely whispering winds
from far away deserts
which fall into the sea and slowly sink
miles and miles to the bottom.

Slowly endlessly and silently
attaining depths of thousands of feet,
pterapod and globigerinian
radiolarian and diatomaceous
are some of the common types of ooze.

And every moment of each passing day
this silent rain continues.
