Be it there to host a circling defeat I have hope perhaps a stillness can devour them With many songs and laughter through the many splintered years I love my mind, terrestrial and without end Myself and Miriam throw ourselves upon the oily gears For all the reaching trims and their everlasting limbs Oh take me as a brother when my shell returns within Long after the fall of time, the crest will crack and spill the brine Omissions of us leeching little children Not one Lord but a million Lords of pigment They compliment the colors of our intellectual gore The bramble of the undiscovered labyrinth Is most certainly the venerated outfit of the Lord I stroke the backs, I pay leaves to the window So the glass returns to sand returns to pebbles on the beach No question for an ever-changing island All these things appear to us we learn them as we Teach ourselves to reach as a billion loves Below as above, stretching with love Feeding us all with an exhale of purified wonder All the reaching trims and their everlasting limbs Oh take me as a brother when my shell returns within Long after the fall of time, the crest will crack and spill the brine Omissions of us leeching little children

Once there was a dream But it's gone away Uncertainty has been Lead to the fray The poet is dead But his memory remains A blue heron on the uneven floor A blue heron at the capitol door A blue heron in love and in war Where are the lovers? Animalized! Where are the lovers? Set to the skies! Where are the lovers? Now realized! As a blue heron As a blue heron Open your mind As you once did your arms Hush the raging night And its endless alarms I'm drenched in the blood of my being But its really of no meaning A blue heron on the uneven floor A blue heron at the capitol door A blue heron in love and in war Where are the lovers? Animalized! Where are the lovers? Set to the skies! Where are the lovers? Now realized! As a blue heron As a blue heron

I let the engine idle just in case You've got your feet up on the dash there Your head thrown back, grinning face in the air And we both pretend like we don't care 'Cause you're scared to say you're scared of shadows So you better grab your gloves We're both boxers, babe, we don't make love

Keeping on the lighter side of getting up and bleeding life Hunger is a dream you die in Needing it with all your heart and no way to slow or stop the starve Hunger is a dream you die in Something in you is not the same and there's no one to share the pain Hunger is a dream you die in And dreams wake when your done deciding Shining faces or heavy pains Eternal spirit or roaring flames It's all the same no matter where you've been Hunger is a dream you die in Well I've been hungry all my life and nothing feeds my appetite Hunger is a dream you die in When the best of it comes true there's always more I need from you Hunger is a dream you die in One last time I make my rounds to find out what I'm still without Hunger is a dream you die in And dreams wake when your done deciding Shining faces or heavy pains Eternal spirit or roaring flames It's all the same no matter where you've been Hunger is a dream you die in Ain't no harm in being free except for what it does to me Hunger is a dream you die in So come on let me shake your hand And leave me standing as I am The kind of man that understands Hunger is a dream you die in And dreams wake when your done deciding Shining faces or heavy pains Eternal spirit or roaring flames It's all the same no matter where you've been Hunger is a dream you die in

Mountains of stone in the tall lunar highlands They cannot conquer me, nor surpass my size The blush of an iris in the bleach of the summer It cannot forge the hue of my wide purple tide And though I am changing, these thrifts they will find me On the wandering plains of another gone year Where seven young babies will float all around me And turn in a parallel and all disappear The long mirror of time The long mirror of time Its sculpted crystal passage is not genuine The long mirror of time The long mirror of time Reveals the prism faces but not mine The emperors wait there in the face of the future And I am here folding in a firm yellow rose They know these indulgences but know not the hollowed orb My softest armor dawns in ragged old clothes And it cannot harm them, their many medicines Dug from the extract of cold shattered time What was the mountain, the marvel now manifests In streams of wild radiance for melodious minds The long mirror of time The long mirror of time Its sculpted crystal passage is not genuine The long mirror of time The long mirror of time Reveals the prism faces but not mine The mountain of stone is the blush of the iris Although I am changing with all unborn faces The summit is waiting to carry me over it The foot of the horse, the whip of the foul The foot of the horse, the whip of the foul The foot of the horse, the whip of the foul The mirror of time is reflecting me now The mirror of time is reflecting me now

Yes time forgot to change my heart He took my woman into the country And they had a baby girl And she grew to look just like me It's a mean and wicked world So I took a train into that country And I found their little shack I went to drink until the sun set And in the darkness I came back But they say time can take the pain away... Outside their window I was creeping Wicked thoughts they filled my mind And as my old friends laid there sleeping I snuck in from behind And I knelt down my baby's bedside And I graced her lily face Please listen to your mother dear For your father's a disgrace But she said time can take the pain away...

Sometimes I wake up with an empty head Sometimes I don't want to get out of bed Sometimes my face gets really red When you're around Sometimes I don't want to put on my jeans Don't want to shower, don't need to be clean It's like I'm living in a permanent dream With you baby I never really want to do too much at all There ain't a lot that I can stand Come on baby, take me down to the mall We'll go walking around holding hands We'll go walking around holding hands Don't want to skate at the ice cream rink Don't want to use my little brain to think Don't want to even wash my face in the sink When you're around Don't want to wear my boots in the dirt Sometimes I don't want to put on a shirt It's like I'm always playing hooky from work With you baby I never really want to do too much at all There ain't a lot that I can stand Come on baby, take me down to the mall We'll go walking around holding hands We'll go walking around holding hands We'll go walking around holding hands We'll go walking around holding hands

In a cool pile of ashes At the foot of the stairs The gone robin's nest In a million chairs The dirt of the jungle The stone that's submerged The thorn in the bushes On the wing of a bird Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!) Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!) Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!) Contented and still With my senses expressed Oh, where may I take my rest? In the darkness of morning The arch in the park The grasses of Germany Are dewy and dark In the cage of my longing The deep empty well How would I notice it? How would I tell? Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!) Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!) Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!) Contented and still With my senses expressed Oh, where may I take my rest? On the dead moons of Jupiter and it's curious world Are stuck in a flower All crooked and curled In the bed of a lion The bowels of a ship Are my vain creations Amounting to it Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!) Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!) Where may I take my rest? (Feudal Lord!) Contented and still With my senses expressed Oh, where may I take my rest?
