Sojourner

There's but one faun in the sky
Who brooks like you and I
Who sings his lullabies off key
Who's mystified you
Nay, reminds you of how life used to seem
But now, we're together now
Yet somewhere I must somewhere find
That somewhere I should be
And given eyes to lead

It's I, sojourner, I (I, sojourner, I)
I, sojourner, lead (I, sojourner, lead)

I know such tears are admirable
Brought out of year and sensible
But all you'll sight is not your kind
He's setting up for nighty-night

Palindrome, palindromes (palindrome, palindromes)
So here you hear belief
Heaven's on the beam

Where I, sojourner, I (I, sojourner, I)
I, sojourner (I, sojourner) flee

In lieu of frozen flame (in lieu of frozen flame)
In step of temporal rage (in step of temporal rage)
As crucifixus I've played right through this
This waning spell of strange (waning spell of strange)
Yet somewhere (somewhere) I must somewhere find (somewhere)
That somewhere (somewhere) I should be (be)
And given eyes to lead

It's I, sojourner, I (it's I, sojourner, I)
I, sojourner, I (I, sojourner, I)

Deus ex, unknown (deus ex, unknown)
Deus ex machine atoned (deus ex machine)

Was briar 'round the maypole
Sour milk disgraceful
And shot on the late-late show
Yet then they rose
And like the rue he hath bloomed (and like the rue)

Love each other
Love done true
I'm here with you
At home with you
If I'm younger (if I'm younger)
It's you that's moved (it's you that's moved)
This wizened man (oh, oh)
Into the child (oh, oh)

Sevens I can learn
Of heavens, I can offer (of heavens I can offer)
A resurrection won off forever (off forever)
As free as you can free
Is free as I'll consider (is free as I'll consider)
On slivers of the gray
We're forever (we're forever)
Forever (forever)
