lyrics

By the True Light of Morning / in the Sound of a Dream
I saw you my Fleeing Lover / on a Clifftop
How much older you looked yet / you had no age at all
And you lifted your arms to the sky / and listened
As if the world is a Chorus / here you started to sing /
And in song you threw yourself / sunward

Here I sit to decide / what manner of sight kept me sleepless that night

How I wish you could see him / this child you left for the Moon
Like you he sits very still / and listens
How much you look like him / in my True Dream of Night
Here I trip on the tone of the Strangest Part
For then I saw:

Lines emerge from your midriff / Colour bubble and twirl.
And where once Man fell through Wind / a Bird Flew.

Here I sit to decide / what manner of sight kept me sleepless that night
And here I sit to decide / what manner of bird watches over our child
