about

Sitting on a beach - dusk - waves washing the sand. An early star. Thinking on times past, the joy of living - in the quietness.

lyrics

All I have now are pencil marks on paper since you took that boat/
Summer sunshine takes me to the days of childhood - leaves and stones twisted in the water's rope/

Somehow I confused you with the sky, didn't I didn't I?
Somehow you got lost inside the rain - and now the days have changed

Like the open hill that welcomes the Piper, I am drawn against my will/
Captured by a sound that's turning high and brighter than anything around

If I am a spirit - a thing of fire and air I fell to earth there/
The contours of your face carry the wisdom of the bones - a wet white and wild welcome home

Somehow I confused you with the sky, didn't I didn't I?
Somehow you got lost inside the rain - and now the days have changed
