lyrics

I've sprained my beak to catch a drop
I've wrung out my tongue for my heart to mop
I've lain to long in other's beds, my needle's eye
pierced by different threads

I've slept on boards textile bare
Then spent a month's full pay on outerwear
The greens of spring, the grays of fall
The seasons from inside a shopping mall

I've followed a river to its mouth
Then got lost for words and north and south
My youth spent in the Florida sun
A cake left out in the rain, Olympia, Washington

From the Atlantic to Pacific Rim
The Black Sea to the Balticum
My heart is scored in cardinal red
My compass rose by tears watered

Pined for the love on opposite shores
Just another wave succeeded by more
Until the sea seels up its fate
And swings shut hard as an iron gate

I've seen the clouds from both sides now
From Airplanes to sailboats bow
I've lain too long in my own bed, my needle piercing its own thread.

skiing Berlin, Germany

All beneath the moon will fade
The moon itself will move away
All that in this world that's bought
Now or then returns to nought
In Time...
