Grant’s Farm
All that you have ever been and all I’ll ever want
Have always been the same to me, a stony debutant
But the time it went by sleeping, it’s a river rolling by
It’s a song that never ends
It’s already half a life ago
You were at the wheel the car was sailing with its load
We watched the city turn it’s back
into a forest blue
Fingers straight and sweeping to the sky
We picked up three who’d walked the mountain
marking out their way
We sat and stood in groups around the field
And as the darkness gathered in depending from the stars
The earth began to cry…
Talk to me,
you know you are my friend
All the rest are drifting off alone
There’s a frost but we can make a fire
This blackness
streamed with
gold
Everything ahead is blindness
The further out you look the more you wish
But careful now that could be Saturn, bloody at the mouth
-we children of this age his favourite dish
We talked about the people now, impervious and sold
We talked about our will against the dark
Oh see us now! We’re glowing minuscule against the world
forgotten and forgetting…
And in the morning you’ll wake with another
and my eyes will have barely even closed
and driving back we’ll split our love
into its silent halves
a silent song that never ends
Come to me,
you know you were my friend
And all the rest have drifted off alone
What the cost these emerald desires?
Blackness
streamed with
gold
Blackness streamed with gold.
