Once
Swimming in a primordial ocean, you and I
Of perfumes and hormones where tides sigh
Dark cloud and silver moon, the confluence
Whatever passed me by became I for once
Across the distance
I see what I was once
What I was once
An aching start, a crack cleaved my heart
A smile from your countenance came apart
And as my paroxysms did race and pace
I got moved by the serene wafts of thy grace
Under my blistered soles, the black seam
My own all atoms to thine destiny seem
Water kissed my feet, I felt completely wet
Deserted shore I dreamt, where we last met
O how the foamy surf drowns calls for help
Woe, until thy silken hair becomes kelp
Until the slimy kelp becomes thy hair
And a pale dead fish, the once maiden fair
An abstraction of me, I disappeared in you
I became you, you disappeared from view
Dark cloud and the eclipse, the confluence
Whatever passed me by became I for once
Across the distance
I see what I was once
What I was once
Whatever passed me by became I for once
Across the distance
I see what I was once
What I was once
Of perfumes and hormones where tides sigh
Dark cloud and silver moon, the confluence
Whatever passed me by became I for once
Across the distance
I see what I was once
What I was once
An aching start, a crack cleaved my heart
A smile from your countenance came apart
And as my paroxysms did race and pace
I got moved by the serene wafts of thy grace
Under my blistered soles, the black seam
My own all atoms to thine destiny seem
Water kissed my feet, I felt completely wet
Deserted shore I dreamt, where we last met
O how the foamy surf drowns calls for help
Woe, until thy silken hair becomes kelp
Until the slimy kelp becomes thy hair
And a pale dead fish, the once maiden fair
An abstraction of me, I disappeared in you
I became you, you disappeared from view
Dark cloud and the eclipse, the confluence
Whatever passed me by became I for once
Across the distance
I see what I was once
What I was once
Whatever passed me by became I for once
Across the distance
I see what I was once
What I was once
