Print Version


oceans lay between us and the things we think we need,
but i've known many who would gladly swim to get to where you are.
always more together than the ones you think are better off,
but darling, o one's made it half as far.
and it's so hard.
and i know how hard.
and i know how hard to pursue,
when you're just not breaking through,
but don't you let them tell you that you're wrong.
you're either thinning like helm
but you're still overwhelmed by all the painting left to do.
everything's calm in the half-light of dawn
but the morning will bring no peace,
'coz you'll never be done with the work you've begun,
even in moments of relief.
grapling with time
and the mercury line as the afternoon sun gets hot
and you'll always be far from the things that you are
'coz there's so much that you're not.
so move it around, check your depth with a sounding,
your map reference against the stars.
and your work and your home,
like your clothes, are your own, like your skin and like your scars.
i told you they've had power all along,
so dont you let you tell you that you're wrong.

    "I know I like doing a lot of talking. Time goes on, I'm talking still

  • Counting Down The Hours
    "Innocence it don't come easy, in a sense it never will
    Accidents mean no one's guilty, ignorance means someone's killed
    So I asked our Mr. Mellow how to get to where one's going
    And he points to his survival, and he points me down the road..."
  • Little Dawn
    "Well Little Dawn walks on,
    and she thinks she don't belong under the starry heights
    So take a sigh as long as the war's been going on in your heart tonight
    And if you want to make that light, go on and swim across the ocean..."

    "I had a golden ring and I kept it with golden things
    In the Bank of Million dreams that was bursting at all the seams
    I had a golden ring. It was such an important thing
    That I kept it beneath my bed, and I carried it in my head..."
  • Shake The Sheets
    "I said, "I wonder how it is I'm standing here,
    while war is raging everywhere under the sky?
    I feel defeated here by everything,
    cheated here by everyone on every side..."
