Teignmouth | |
On the night train | |
From the city to the south | |
I saw spirits | |
Crawl across the river mouth | |
In skewed ascension | |
With no destination | |
Like this lone bachelor in me | |
This constant yearning | |
For great love and learning | |
For the wind to carry me free | |
So when the birds fly south | |
I'll Reach up and hold their tails | |
Pull up and out of here | |
And bridle the autumn gales | |
Down to the burning cliffs | |
To the unrelenting roll | |
To marry the untold blisses | |
And anchor this lost soul | |
From my window | |
I saw two birds lost at sea | |
I caught our reflection | |
In that silent tragedy | |
But with hope prevailing | |
I draw galleons sailing | |
In full sail billowing free | |
So when the birds fly south | |
We'll reach up and hold their tails | |
Pull up and out of here | |
And bridle the autumn gales | |
I give you my hand | |
The fingers unfold | |
To have and forever hold | |
To marry the untold blisses | |
And anchor this lost soul |
