Farther Than the Sky (Bedroom Tape)

In the darkness of
the still and early morning
or the turning of
the page from day to night
I saw your figure rise
quiet moving from me
and drew the darkness from
inside my hollowed eyes

In my bedroom I
can feel the days are turning
I sense the hours as
they wander by
Outside my doorway still
the current it is churning
And all things from my life
seem farther than the sky

And in the kitchen now
the water it is boiling
and I can't bear to learn
the secret how or why
A silent serpent's tongue
is whispering from the window
and all I can do is watch the passerbys

And in my bedroom I
can feel the days are turning
I sense the hours as
they wander by
Outside my doorway still
the current it is churning
and all things from my life
seem farther than the sky

And then your crystal eyes
shining through the doorway
I see your diamond mind
flashing through the dust
And for a moment I
can see outside my window
out into the night
being born from the dusk

And in my bedroom I
can feel the days are turning
I sense the hours as
they wander by
Outside my doorway still
the current it is churning
and all things save for you
seem farther than the sky
