lyrics

There’s something secret and magical about confusion.
Tinkering in the swallowing Spring
Snaky afternoons in the dry desert dancing
I love the sound of her murmering
Blackness closed against the summertime
Her plaintive empty voice like dangerous rain
Riding out into the great unknown
Blackness closed against the summertime
Vultures crawl
I wake up in a meadow in a hollow tree
My mother’s hiding deep inside a prisoner’s heart
Her soft hands are in the slums echoing
Nature kisses the bodies on the ground
Blackness closed against the summertime
