Bruce Cockburn - Lily Of The Midnight Sky lyrics
over the slow slide of continents over the salt pans pipelines masts and pavilions shimmering crescent moon recedes into working dawn-- lone crow against pallid sky single plume of white smoke on yellow speckled plain yellowing leaves sparkle in cold breeze-- wave patterns among wave patterns particles disperse and rejoin dissolve and reform like the lining of a womb still the cold of your absence blows from the silent tv the parking lot the balcony with clothes waving good-bye/hello in the rising day you keep fading away don't i know that you're always around i can reach you if i try Lily of the Midnight Sky solders of sunrise--shooting into a forest of flowers slow motion petals float into pink crimson white grow wings flutter into mountainous distance flutter like a stadium full of applauding hands i raise a fist to the marauding sun that has hidden you away i'm the rag in a bottle of gasoline longing to ignite ich will alles all of you--shining on the panther skin of night mirrored in a black lake in a night that glistens like blood on gold nobody else could be you if only i could see you i should be able to touch you somehow i can reach you if i try Lily of the Midnight Sky while you look from on high spare a smile as i put on my dog mask and howl for you i can reach you if i try Lily of the Midnight Sky -- Boulder, Colorado 11/11/1984 |
