lyrics



SUNDAY PRAYER, xxxix


Time & time again,
the light is moving in a current,
see it mowing through the trees,
along the tracks and through the street?
Love is a dish you best serve cold.
We burn our tongue when we're too bold,
mistakes as new as they are old.
Chewing my cheek, drinking alone I am, I am.


Time & time again
plays on repeat on television
home recordings of a campfire
in family rooms clear across this empire.
Nature looks away, amazed,
sticks out a tongue of hurricanes.
Science insists, light disobeys,
both a particle and a wave, I am, I am, I am.


But you're a birthday,
deep with the dayshine.
From dusk to moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes.


Time & time again, I am, I am.
