about

This is about gimpses, insight, the mindstream being temporarily stilled and the beauty-profundity of being revealed once again. Some of the imagery influenced by Dylan, like the cloak... it all speaks of that place beyond illusion accessible only via presence.

lyrics

The laughing cloud makes me smile out loud
why it happens today not yesterday who can say?
the bossy cardinal chip the coffee I sip
my daughter as she slips into waking me

chorus A.
yeah I accept it there are people flyin up there
flyin somewhere flying anywhere
and some other someone washing bottles
and some other someone flippin waffles

2.
the winter gray sings of damp decay
the morning call to soon befall all
the curtain lifts the horizon shifts
the wayward child returns

chorus B.
it's a hard sentence to swallow
the short sentence to follow

3.
the ageless slave walks the endless maze
a weathered cloak telescope and hope
the cunning light flees the coming night
the spiral space time bends - chorus A & B
