lyrics

it’s late and I feel
my thoughts go running on
past rails, past fences
past car doors forming walls

the face of a man
of a boy who wanted one
shines out from a well
from a great height looking on

all summer long
when we were young
all our scores were settled by
street-lights coming on

a change in the pace
of my racing mind’s memories
gives weight, gives embrace
to the thoughts I don’t want in me

the face of the ghost
of the dream that I want to see
lies down for the night
closes eyes and waits for me

asleep by the light
of a lamp leaves a fiery dream
of foxes and sheep,
berries and waterwings

the thoughts that my mind
wants to share with the memories
that I live when I sleep,
when I sleep and am free to dream

the weight of wrong
I’m carrying along
won’t stop my heart
from wanting you

no fame no gun no power
no name no lion’s growl
no cane no crutch no cowl
no grace will bear me through

no song no sight no flower
no night no glance no howl
no art but selfless love
will let me truly talk to you
