A turtle shrinks into its shell Then shrivels, Grape to raisin, Sun's warning echoing: "Danger, danger, danger!" As river moves from mountain to ocean The golden arc across the sky Soon is only a faint glow on faraway rock - Yet it will come again To shout it's harrowing cry And shrink and shrivel And round again, again, again 'Til Kingdom come       'Til salvation              'Til death do us unto part

Shrink and Shrivel again again
A turtle shrinks into its shell Then shrivels, Grape to raisin, Sun's warning echoing: "Danger, danger, danger!" As river moves from mountain to ocean The golden arc across the sky Soon is only a faint glow on faraway rock - Yet it will come again To shout it's harrowing cry And shrink and shrivel And round again, again, again 'Til Kingdom come       'Til salvation              'Til death do us unto part
