a circle on the sand

cast away into this magnificent void
lonely and bloody
my golden luck in threes

save it all, save it all
for the lonely view
save it all
for the love in you
save it all
for the lonely few

here is the blackness in the face of noon
destrudo pulls hard to break the new
a skeleton mirror and the face and the hands
a life of their own now and I hold your hand
your white body and grey hairs and the burning sands

bits of paper squinting in the dark red light
it was a long time to love again but now
now the dust blowing in the black winds
street lights and dogs and the glare of headlights
on the black rainy street I love you all again and again

down this road
I didn't get the words
to hang my soul upon
made a path for me
out of a dark cave of misery

now the lights in my eyes
and my ears live in luxury
as solid as a metal desk
the old man awaits
the perfection

alpha is the beginning
from inside the cave
her bells ring beautifully
like words of grace

a million candles are burning
for the lonely woman and the
lonely man
and the rain falls down like silver and sand
and we the children float away
back into the innocent land
back into a circle on the sand
