THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN

Are you lost in worry
Are you awake across the sea
When the waves are crashing down
I hear the ocean breath

The full moon's riding high tonight
It's keeping me awake
Tossed inside the sea of dreams
My body, washed away

I shot my arrow blindly
To the far side of the sun
The yellow snake, I find her there
My lifeline to the sun

Her skin is warm, her body long
She goes for miles and miles
Her golden skin shines with the sun
Her tongue forks, splicing time

The water's ghostly still tonight
The sea holds in her breath
The moon, she's cloaked her golden skin
With gray dust and worm's web

I shot my arrow blindly
To the far side of the sun
It stuck inside the dirt out there
I dreamt the earth was gone

I go back and forth from there
I move inside the sun
I connect the golden threads
Lifelines waiting to be born

Are you falling through the sky
Are you tumbling just like me
Does the moonlight make you blind
Can you hear the ocean breath

The things I've seen, and what I've dreamed
Few souls would fast believe
The road grows thin like spider's web
It binds my hands and feet

Time is branching out again
The silk worm weaves her web
The yellow snake, upon her tongue
Creates the earth again

The lines are forking on my palm
I'm tumbling through the sky
The moon, she cloaks her golden skin
The snake opens her eyes.
