Immortal Bird |
| What drives us on? |
| What drives us on? |
| I left something of myself in you |
| Fourscore, twenty, thirty |
| In your body and in your flesh |
| In your vault of skin |
| I was nothing for you |
| But the shadow of another love |
| That one day for you |
| Would shift your skies to pastures blue |
| Streaked with passing and loss |
| Tortoise green in my eyes |
| From the moss of my past, you arised |
| And lightly then, I saw your smile |
| With ivory throat and ivory eyes |
| At night I catch you before I sleep |
| And if I died before I wake |
| I prayed that you my heart might keep |
| I cannot hold your tunneled eyes |
| Near my heart any longer |
| All this love is nothing truly |
| Mist of moons' breath, grit of evening |
| The grass was green, I now recall |
| Before my own particular fall |
| I saw we were both really masks over nothing |
| The moonlight sweeping over northern beaches |
| All the trees stand stripped |
| Just silhouettes of memories |
| At night I have started to dream of you |
| Your eyes are wide and shot through with sea blue |
