From the recording On This Shore
Lyrics
IN ROUND
(after a poem by a certain Eric)
In the stillness of this place
you show me how
the rocks quiet and deep
sleep in round . . .
How they hold the sea
And guard the sky . . .
And open a curtain of dreams
And open wide before us a curtain of dreams
And open wide before us a curtain of dreams
(Spoken)
slumber here side by side hand in hand
I kiss your lips, hold you close
(sung) and enter new lands
downward through lips of surf
the simple fruit
jewel of a brilliant seed
in our salty tango
roseate moonsmash sonorous perfumes
undulent symphony
in our salty tango
roseate moonsmash sonorous perfumes
undulent symphony
