Terrible Dream (Borges)

The Lightning (a poem by DH Lawrence arranged to music)

I felt the lurch and halt of her heart
Next my breast, where my own heart was beating;
And I laughed to feel it plunge and bound,
And strange in my blood-swept ears was the sound
Of the words I kept repeating,
Repeating with tightened arms,
and the hot blood's blindfold art.

Her breath flew warm against my neck,
Warm as a flame in the close night air;
And the sense of her clinging flesh was sweet
Where her arms and my neck's blood-surge could meet.
Holding her thus, did I care
That the black night hid her from me,
blotted out every speck?

I leaned me forward to find her lips,
And claim her utterly in a kiss,
When the lightning flew across her face,
And I saw her for the flaring space
of a second, afraid of the clips
Of my arms, inert with dread,
wilted in fear of my kiss.

I heard the thunder, and felt the rain,
And my arms fell loose, and I was dumb.
Almost I hated her, she was so good.
Hated myself, and the place, and my blood,
Which burned with rage, as I bade her come
Home,
away home, & the lightning floated forth again.

the lightning floated forth again
the lightning floated forth again
the lightning floated forth again
the lightning floated forth again

Winter Rain

We know its a cliche ... BUT we recorded this in one take in a cabin in the woods ... It's a sad song about the kids who get sent to rich men's wars ... Yep, you hear the nearby stream and the 'click' at the end of the recording ... Soz
