And then the child becomes the worrier,
|
And you're the worrier, so worry over this-
|
What's the thing that has you reaching out to it like a phantom limb?
|
And to the action comes a character,
|
And he reveals a wish to see himself in ink,
|
So you take a pen,
|
you write a list called 'all the stages that the world begins',
|
|
And then the years relay the seasons,
|
You fill the sky, you give him means to lift his chin;
|
And then the tides relay the oceans,
|
You give him reason for believing
|
That he's in
|
Some
|
Creation.
|
|
To make him grow you give him barriers,
|
To make him grow you give him barriers to fell,
|
Now he wants to know if there's a narrator;
|
You dry the riverbed, and so he builds a well.
|
And when the woman comes, he marries her,
|
And then the woman is another to himself,
|
Now she wants to know if there's a narrator-
|
She wants to know if there's a narrative to tell,
|
|
And then the years relay the seasons,
|
You fill the sky you give them means to lift their chins,
|
And then the tides relay the oceans,
|
You give them reason for believing-
|
And then the years relay the seasons,
|
You fill the sky you give her means to lift her chins,
|
And then the tides relay the oceans,
|
You give her reason for believing
|
That she's in
|
Some
|
Creation
|
