Storm Petrel 04:42
I know, I know, I know I appear to be taking Everything so slow, and Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling behind. So you go, you go, You go Where it's bigger, And there's neon: Brighter than the moon, and... ...the sounds are all speeding up, to catch the light. And I'll stay here, To keep me near. But I adore the way You pull me over there. And that's before I've even Stopped to catch a breath of air... ...and all the surreptitious petrel storms Have plotted with the killer whales To build a tidal wave As big as it can grow; And bring it crashing down To stop the ebb and flow Of all the automation; Traffic Lights, Tremendously, And turn the day to night. I know, I know, I know, I know. If I go, I go, I go, I go, Then you'll take it In your place To come Back Here. (come back here) It won't be in a year, But give it two or three. When you'll be ready, So I'll take you back with me To where the autumn comes A little soon, But that's OK Because I've got the moon... ...to tell me everything I'll ever need to hear About the universe, And how to keep you near. The universe, And how to keep you near.

Today I woke to the rough touch Of a cat's tongue; The pinnacle of adoration. The pinnacle of adoration. But then I learned of the passing Of an old friend; A boy who lived through tragedy. A man who left us prematurely. The feline and I stood to watch The wind pass through the leaves. Electric grey clouds stole the skyline From behind. And for a while The tree was me. When... ...Lightning struck with sunlight in my eyes. With pain and fear, it took me by surprise. The future tense was stripped from all The branches and the roots of old. The present and the past; They seemed to change. What was once simpatico on hold, I thought, until the time that we are old. When acorns had become the oaks, That would be the time we spoke Of when we were young, With so much to be done. Looking back upon myself, The electric shock, just moments gone. I could see the branches that were Yet to stretch so far... ...out in front and far behind To bridge the old onto the new. Reconnect and follow through. That's the way we'll carry you. That's the way we'll carry you. Far.

There's blood on her hands. I'll tell you that. I'll tell you that. I'll tell you that. There's nowhere for her to go. I'll let you know. I'll let you know. I'll let you know. Her liquorice eyes deceive me, With a cinnamon smile to relieve me. She'll carve out your eyes From your skull. A blind man to her; A black angel. How do I know this? Her tongue so sharp, To reduce me, With her shimmering lips To seduce me.
