Bilingual
I'm looking to be by a window
ย
That looks out on the sea
ย
Anybody here know
ย
Where such a place is?
ย
Surf of golden sunlight
ย
Breaking over me
ย
Man of a thousand faces
ย
In the Garden paths take form
But the hailstorm guards its own
ย
Things forbidden, things unknown
You must travel on alone
ย
In memorium friends come round
But the hard ground holds its own
Time for pulling, time to ride
ย
It's my turn but where's the guide?
ย
On the jetty shadows lie
ย
And the gulls cry once or twice
Swelling thunder, truth is hid
Behind the glass eye of the idol...
ย
Anybody here know
Where such a place is?
ย
You know, these city towers,
ย
Jewels on the Serpent's crown,
ย
Twist the space between them
Till every eye is blinded
ย
Lord will you trade your sunlit ocean
ย
With its writhing filigree
ย
For any one of my thousand faces?
ย
