When dark is the cloud my head still in the Savannah sleeps My heart like a native drum beats to the rhythm of the hours The great hours flow like one dark river My eyes in the heavens tell me secrets of the past My ancient past and ancient feelings A sick pale like moonlight on the cold leaves My mind escapes like a wild animal into the grass My mind with it's own heart racing It's own drum beating quick to the quick animal breaths In panic through the tombstone streets lit with souls Strange dark of ancient days The pounding drum in my every step Lighter than the midnight air And I took to the sky and flew away Dancing madly through my dreams Wicked dreams that go unpunished Vile dreams slipped away into the bottomless chasm of night My heart sank like a stone into that dark And I was found panting Out of breath Marooned on dawn's naked shores

Anchors In The Gentle Sleep
When dark is the cloud my head still in the Savannah sleeps My heart like a native drum beats to the rhythm of the hours The great hours flow like one dark river My eyes in the heavens tell me secrets of the past My ancient past and ancient feelings A sick pale like moonlight on the cold leaves My mind escapes like a wild animal into the grass My mind with it's own heart racing It's own drum beating quick to the quick animal breaths In panic through the tombstone streets lit with souls Strange dark of ancient days The pounding drum in my every step Lighter than the midnight air And I took to the sky and flew away Dancing madly through my dreams Wicked dreams that go unpunished Vile dreams slipped away into the bottomless chasm of night My heart sank like a stone into that dark And I was found panting Out of breath Marooned on dawn's naked shores
