I opened a beer for two
In the high afternoon sun
And the whole sky felt very white
No blue or shadow grew,
You, unusually steady
Watching the mad spiralling flies,
I thought I knew all your secrets
From every degree,
Sweat beading on your forehead
Rolling into your eyes
Like tears double backing.
Don’t mistake this
It isn’t nothing, it’s everything we’ve ever felt.
Closing my eyes I see you in another life,
When we are both trees
And I wonder if you’ll remember me.

♪ THE EAGLE OR THE SERPENT ♫
I've done a lot of walking all over the city today, feet feeling mighty tired but the mind feeling gratified. Time to ease off with a nice song and some tea...Sit back and enjoy.

SUN IN THE NIGHT
Dark, mysterious dark
So late, even time slept with the rest of them,
And you murmured wonderful things
Unending things
real and natural.
We laid
Seeing for miles
Through all the darkness
The stars staring back at us
Square in the eye.
What I remember most..
Your fingertips,
Tasting of the flowers in your pockets.
So late, even time slept with the rest of them,
And you murmured wonderful things
Unending things

We laid
Seeing for miles
Through all the darkness
The stars staring back at us
Square in the eye.
What I remember most..
Your fingertips,
Tasting of the flowers in your pockets.
