Burlap
02:10
|
|||
|
i've been waiting far too long
my heart a barren field at dawn
leaves surround my body
my hands empty
smiling dressed in burlap clothes
my soul a lotus in repose
leaves surround my body
my hands empty

Song Sparrow Sang
01:45
|
|||
|
dreamt i heard you singing like a sparrow, woke up laughing
tired eyed and letting every moment go slipping past me
i've been waiting, waiting for a vision to come and take me
someday soon i'll see your shining face again
someday, someday

i saw the light and i let go
sparrow, keep on singing
(ha ha ha)

Rattlesnake
02:51
|
|||
|
in bed with a rattlesnake
kissing the hand that takes and takes
always wanting
always hungry
water the soil and hold the fruit in your hands
someday away from harm
someday we'll sleep in loving arms
without worry
without shame
we'll know love's name
water the soil and hold the fruit in your hands
(the sky stretched out its crying mouth
the night dissolved into a sound)

Cow in a Field of Lilies
05:03
|
|||
|
cow in a field of lilies
the children will eat the cattle
the horse will detest the saddle
but man will ride regardless
his hunger has no harness
he'll strip the earth for harvest
pure and simple
look at the man, kissing high leaves of the foliage
cow in a field of lilies
the children will eat the cattle
the horse will be free of her saddle
and man will ride on nothing
his every action loving
he'll feel the light above him
and he'll smile
...
i don't need to see the sun
i don't need love

Bull
02:57
|
|||
|
bull is lying on the ground
his fur is grey his eyes are brown
the matador he wipes his hands
and blows a kiss to all his fans
a trail of smoke tailing me
i hear your voice humming endlessly
charging bull doesn't think twice
doesn't pause or blink his eyes
the present is a gift to him
tomorrow is a distant thing

Death of a Season
08:24
|
|||
|
it's more like the kiss of a hammer
or a hundred spades at the mouth of a grave
or how the paper hearts of men were folded into money
and unfolded into shame
or how the rough skin of a revelation
was stretched over a wilting landscape
or how we spun ourselves into a darkness
of quiet and dust
so we took ourselves to the mountain's edge
and saw with naked eyes
the earth
whose face was a blistered red desert
whose body was a hollowed out gourd;
and out from the valley
a voice emerged
...
waiting for your miracle
you're hanging on the edge
nothing ever happens now
your providence is dead
we saw mountains crumble
we saw markets tumble
birds singing, birds singing
and i saw the face of a terrible thing
a hand from above
won't quit taking, taking, taking
waiting at the crossroads
what are we to do?
everything is changing now
everything anew
death of a season
a new world is waiting
for you
...
so we turned around,
descended the mountain
returned to ground
