Untitled 77

lyrics

The flowers are still there growing out of the Earth in the field where I rest
Like they were when I was just a boy I saw here gathering fireflies early in the evening
One by one

How can you say I was alone with the sound of the humming of the life all around me
I followed the path made in the dirt to the end of the trail and just kept going By the lake

The golden light of twilight just over the trees I was in the pasture of life The fruit falling overrippened, a town for the innocent The nights of summer’s past It was green and gold and perfect

I was a wild cat, resting under an outcropping of rock A silent stone statue A ferryboat drifting on the Mississippi That moment when the night and the day are one The smell of the honeysuckle A falling star

There’s a moment when you realize where you fit in expanse Where for a fleeting moment it all makes sense When gravity and time are just concepts and the legends of old blossom in front of you And you become the story

When I’m alone my mind retreats to the meadow and the girl and mossy earth under my head Clutching and laughing Knowing that the wild owes us nothing Shelter from the cold Water roaring over the rocks When time stands still

A place for you and I to run free, in our heads where the obligations we build fight for purchase The sounds of the lake echo across the green, and the first star of the evening fades into exisitence, You are the star

It was the year that I became aware of how deep the water is and that there is life teeming just below the surface of everyone The melancholy of dusk is happiness to others How can you blame them for hiding there? Thirsty for silence

In our heads ring so many things, our gentle creation, of the fire we built when the dark brought with it the evening and the howlin, fire and blistering cold Objects colliding with no regard for one another in our heads and in the sky Of bone and fire

The last blue moon of our youth when we believed in fairy tales Some say we still do The details differ but the plot remains the same Can we create the magic of the moment or do we wait for another perfect night like tonight? I can see your shadow
