the water is smooth as glass
see that flat rock on the sand
pick it up it’s a real good one,
hold it in your hand

haven’t done this in a while
a little bit out of practice
the first one sinks just like a stone
that’s exactly what it is.

skipping stones
skipping stones

you bend your arm like this
special flick of the wrist
one two three four five quick skips
rippling across the surface

everything has its moment
all the tension breaks
when the surface is broken
look how the ripples radiate…..

skipping stones
skipping stones

skimming across the water
watch this one bounce
blip blip blip blip blip blip blip
i think i lost count
