Long As the Day

Under the sunshine
As the shadows of town climb
He pictures a deity
Watering the daises that he left behind

They meet each other by the cliffs
She's dressed in yellow
The sun clings to the mist
The town drifts so wavy away

She has an old future
She hides in her palm
Her life line is light
But her love line's long

Long as the day can be long

A cat sits by the pool
Another sits in the shade on the rooftop
Her kite's the color of banana
Two parrots head to Santa Anna on the breeze

As she bikes to the store
Their myths start synchronizing
And right where the cosmos splits
The mountains move in

They follow Ra's journey
Into the underworld
In the alleys by the temples
The shadows stretch long

Long as the day can be long

The trees seem forever in fruit
Afternoons of perfect virtue
She goes to check on her bougainvilleas
He searches the mirror

Far from the world
That's slipped to winter
Time trudges on
Out here where the days get long

Long
