A Thin Place

Lead me to a thin place

Where I can feel complete

Where Earth and Heaven meet

To form an endless lace

 

Bring me to the crossroads

Up in the mountain pass

Down where streams of glass

Move along in ceasless flow

 

Let me make my bed

In the shade of musty pines

Stretching on in ragged lines

Where form and function wed

 

Lead me on a wild hunt

Into the thicket thick

Into town where people stick

Their heads out in affront

 

"Have you all gone mad

Running freely through the black

Out before the dawn of crack

While we're in our night gowns clad?

 

Do you know the hour

That we're pulled into this game

Before that great ball of flames

Into the sky can tower?"

 

"It's the time between times

Where forces sweet and fay

Move about in endless play

Back into the hills we climb"
