Fatherlight |
| We are leaving our time now |
| We are leaving our time now |
| There are places where time moves more slowly than here |
| We honor all four directions |
| East, West, North, South… |
| In the fatherlight |
| I lost my compass and I lost my sight |
| At the fireside |
| I sat too close and then I burned my eyes |
| And was it temperament |
| That kept us from saying all the things we meant? |
| Fatherlight |
| Fatherlight |
| Fatherlight |
| Hear the city call |
| With faster highways and with alcohol |
| Can we synchronize |
| With time so different, generation-wise? |
| And was it temperament |
| That kept us from saying all the things we meant? |
| In the countryside |
| (so many things now I cannot tell you) |
| I lost my country when I left your side |
| (the broken bones of a shattered world view) |
| Now you think I’m gone |
| (and in the ER lights I saw you) |
| But take my hand and let me prove you wrong… |
| (reaching up like you thought you might break through) |
| Fatherlight |
| Fatherlight |
| And we also honor the fifth direction |
| The vertical one |
| Which is in us |
| Today, here |
