Ants From Up There

The Place Where He Inserted the Blade

Music in a jugular vein - Philly Joe Jones

15 Random Rules - Silver Jews

Wistful Skies

As I sit and watch you
(As I watch you baby)
I just can’t believe my eyes
(Can’t believe my eyes)
Your softest whisper
(Whisper to me baby)
Rings like thunder in the spans of these wistful skies
(These wistful skies)

These fleeting moments
(Just a moment baby)
Hover then pass by like midge flies
(They pass me by)
In the swampy vestiges of latent memory
(I remember baby)
Along the beaten path beneath these cloistered, wistful skies
(Wistful skies)

I understood it well enough, so I thought
(I though so baby)
But perhaps not enough to give rise
(I couldn’t give rise)
For when you spoke of moving on
(Moving on now baby)
I sought peace beneath wistful skies
(These wistful skies)

The line of progress is dipping low
(Dipping low now baby)
What was once known in spades one can’t now surmise
(No, they can’t surmise)
The lush forests are shrivelling and will someday die
(They will die now baby)
I best be finding refuge before the deluge of these wistful skies
(These wistful skies)

Crippled thought is a lame companion
(No companion of mine)
Drifting from shore and ready to capsize
(They will capsize baby)
Nagging relentlessly with its fragments of pictures
(All the pictures baby)
In the fogged recollections of my wistful skies
(The wistful skies)

There’s a commandment behind a stone
(See the commandment)
That everyone challenges yet still abides
(They abide now baby)
The tree of life provides endless bounty
(Endless bounty)
To the sheep of existence grazing under wistful skies
(Under wistful skies)
