lyrics

Why are the wires crossing?
She asked him
Did you see anything?
He replied, yes
She said
Was it wonderful?
And he said
No, sort of grey
There was laughter and the image of him
Walking through a field of violet colored
Flowers holding a cane
Then he was judged
And struck savagely with a sword
And he was a sick man
The attacker shouting
Stand up! Stand up!
While he struck him down
He was a liar
And he killed that man
That man who only wanted to see
Floating beauty
Traveling music
And read and read and read without interruption
And watch the sky at night and learn their names
To call them out
The stars

And he would walk and walk and walk and walk and walk
Walk sick with cane
Walk and walk and walk and walk and walk
Until he saw what he had thought that he had read about
Or maybe seen?
Or maybe it was something that he only remembered?
Brought with him through time
So he walked and walked
Not really to see something
But to be somewhere that had real feeling
Real meaning
And the vision there was its own expression
But there are wires crossing
Walking to ones ends
