Oh father said, |
|
out of the corner of his eyes |
|
you're gonna walk alone today. |
|
With spiraling view in to the night, |
|
devotion fades without a warning. |
|
Oh mother said, |
|
further knows forever, |
|
like light on shattered water. |
|
And now, when down and out, |
|
conceive the old golden cage. |
|
Silent bones shadow the door way, |
|
as i spill into the yellow road. |
|
The path, will find me one day, |
|
at the river where we once stood. |
|
Oh brother said, |
|
You're wired up in red thread, |
|
a distant lover on a string. |
|
Its light, light enough. |
|
Don't look below the ground is gone. |
|
I was cautioned to remember, |
|
there at the bottom of the stair case. |
|
I said look over my shoulder, |
|
the early leaf is not a flower. |
|
And in the fire I'm a moth for you. |
|
When the silver lining cuts in two. |
|
And in the darkness, dreary moon will do. |
|
I am forever lost, |
|
forever found with you. |
