oh, the mountains and rivers are without end
and we are ever-moving towards that warm wood fire

with you by my side i can release and send
my body, my mind, my soul; can you take me higher?

darkness release me
and i stir to life
animated bones led by
determined muscles and
frightened nerves
bound by the soul inside
who views from his seat
out of a lidded porthole view
wondering things like why
where does he go
when will he die
and how should be feel

what do you feel
doing what you do
doing what you can
unaware of my plan

what do you feel
that makes you smile at day
makes you sleep at night
makes you feel all right

is it for you as it is me
is your bubble about to burst
do we own what we steal
what do you feel

am i normal and okay
shrouded are my lamps
which guides my wheel
what do you feel

lines of her face and of his too
the thoughts and the memories coming together
like old friends convening
concerning themselves with what provenance
what provenance drew them all together

its time i show you that i remember you
so i made these lines, my friends
my friends do you remember me

little bird in a nest
found the worm momma left
tried to fly and did its best
wasn't strong nor was it deft

oh my winter caught me early
and left me frozen on the floor

these cold days were unending
until at last i could be sure

that some way through time
I'd have no way to rewind

and fall in love with you again

just another lesson
some specter of a dream
a glimpse into unstirred waters
my castle on the beach

i am haunted by this ghost of you
treading waters once swam for you
holding up walls blown by the wind that carried you
