Water From Another Time

[Larry Caldwell]

This is an old song. I first heard it about 30 years ago, but if it's new to you it's worth a listen.

Nice song. At the risk of being dense, "water" is a metaphor for past knowledge? Actual water IS from another time. The water we drink today is the same water the dinosaurs drank.

"Water" is the continuity of family generations, from grandparents to newborns. If time is a river, water is what fills it up.
