lyrics

I was a child
And you were a knot
I, but a leanto
And you a ziggurat
Towering far above me
Sun glancing off your veil
I was a worshipper

And I contended to solve you
The gall of it, I’d never seen
But beaten, warrant, I wallowed
Didn’t you give me these dreams?
You see ever since I’ve known you
Never needed more, never had less
I was a worshipper
You were something else

I came as a vagrant
To your dazzling veneer
And said I come now, have patience
Uneavesdropped by your ears
If your locks won’t allow me
And your window blind nothing tells
Won’t I still be peering inwards?

For just once, I sighted you
Your feet, your wings, your fingers long
And no plea for mercy
Would I heed from the multuitous throng
But the longing-born hydra
Reared its other seven heads
I, a hero of old
You were something else

I tried to laugh off the notion
To follow you to such climbs
Feeling like a piece of paper
Folded more than seven times

So turn this ship starboard
You’re no longer the shore
In these waters I’ve wandered
With no conscience onboard
But then how would you notice
What your currents say to my sails?
I thought I was a wanderer
You thought I was something else
