lyrics

There was a time long ago when I met you
And the earth gave a splendid applause
And the cats followed us through the pasture,
And the trees bowed their heads as we walked

When I opened my mouth in a clearing
And a centipede crawled from my teeth
And a buzzard flew circles above us
As a hot wind blew foul and free

Still you rose time again to my bedside,
Though doubt would not leave you alone
And each time that you thought you might love me
A centipede crawled from my throat

And we made us a home by the river
And the years flew suspiciously by
And the cats came in heat to our window
all summer to bellow and cry

How I love, how I love to be cherished
How I love, how I love to be held
To be followed through holes in old fences
Through fallows and forgotten towns
My darling…

And when I envision you now
You’re in some pristine and prismatic house
Where each breath makes a crystalline structure
That falls with a clink to the ground

I am here in my twisting and twining
Of strange things that ring in the night
Of flowers that sing while they’re blooming
The ballad of being alive
Of flowers that bloom in the evening
And sleepily open their eyes
And sing for their own sweet enjoyment
The ballad of being alive
