lyrics

Mirrors of galaxies tromp at my knees
Peddling ancients marked by their decree
Don't hold me by arrow or hold me by stone
Married marred significance dally on my brow bone

I need not know this sage bride, she will be revealed at last
the meaning glistens in weary, repeated casts

I don't wish to stop with the water at my knees
Painfully reminded of sullen retreat
Self appointed residence in vain mockery
apprentice of darkness and vague letter writing

I thought I found a mountain, oh quarried a stone
but all's floating eyes, inner turbidity rages on alone.

Beloved don't let go though the current is strong
Where we've mis-stepped do those steps remain forever wrong?
Nymph, beetle, sycophant, hieroglyph whirling in loosened mud.

A plausible cadaver spoke,
"Pull me up and burn me with your old notes
For cherished be the mustard seed
Who follow rain where ere she go.
The young become calloused in growing
who eat the seed, young blossoms flowing?
Roadside horse, gooses, goslings, ditch watercress
and old rings all feeding
Dance in smoke coloured calico, spin your dresses so creator will know"

Beloved don't let go though the current is strong
Where we've stepped, we've stepped and no we must move on
Carry out the sentence dally wrote in the dreamer's pond
dance in smoke coloured calico, spin your dresses so creator will know
Life is needed, life is wanted.
