Box Canyon |
Many days and months have I waited for the train |
To leave this city far behind, seek country once again |
The passengers sit talking all through the afternoon |
And the porter waltzes quietly with a honey-colored broom |
Well life in a box canyon, it don’t get you very much |
Just a lizard and the stone at where he’ll sleep |
I go on daydreaming though I’m really out of touch |
And the soldier lies forgotten in the keep |
Once I had a woman, she reminded me of the wind |
And although it was an accident I’d asked the gods to win |
And they granted me one favor 'fore they tore the veil away |
And I don’t know what I’ve lost or won, I don’t even know today |
Each day the children come and they stand around the court |
Deciding what is pleasure and when to play |
When I was but one of them, well I knew how to sing |
Tell me what are my children to say |
Well life in a box canyon, it don’t get you very much |
Just a lizard and the stone at where he’ll sleep |
I go on daydreaming though I’m really out of touch |
And the soldier lies forgotten in the keep |
