The Garden Route

Lightning fell and I stood steeping in light
Laughing with brilliant fear
Turning back to your smile

Every door peeled
Open on an autumn afternoon
We traversed warm boredom
Fled disappointment
And loved under the wide rose sky

Drinking silver from a dim spring of Mercury
On the outskirts of a desert
The lifeless slither
Still we seek thirsting and wandering

I was a man made of yesterdays
Mornings glowing like coal
Blinding the every day
Legs buckling together when moving

Now I'm faced from the East
And rushing to the crest
Of the valued vast
Sterling purple echoing West

Now
Now I run from all my truth
Away with you
Now
Now I run from all my truth
Away with you

To the vast sterling purple echoing West
Echoing West

From all my truth
Away with you
West
From all my truth
Away with you
West
From all my truth
Away with you
West
From all my truth
Away with you
