The wren to the falcon and the falcon to the man Dashed my pain on the rocks of no man’s land Sighs the sea to the siren, “never leave my grasp” Sings the siren to the land, “you are much too vast” Says the sailor to the moon, “we will never be” Sends the sailor to the sea: the siren singing softly So the siren saves the sailor from the love of the land In a struggle at the surface swelling storm Brings him to the bottom of the sea Singing eternally.
So the land and the sky, they will never see Nor the wren and the falcon, will they ever be Like the moon and the sun are sworn together Yet will never touch the light and the warmth and the Love Of the earth. The earth will spin, the wren will sing, The falcon will soar, and the moon will sink. Hear me write of a gale with a pen that I hate While I wish so bad that at land you will wait Having heard my scrawl vibrate within your heart And seen my fires in the dark And followed them home.
Hear me write with love from within this gale As I stand on the brink of the gates of hell And I know that you think that I hate so well But I can promise you a world of insanity, A swirl of calamity, a girl…you are more to me Than just a passing stranger, or the hope to Have a family.
So sing for me and sing for us and Sing for them that are deserved For your voice and your lyrics, Your mind and your heart, Are perfectly imperfect.
