I'm bound by the fire
|
|
I'm bound by the beauty
|
I'm bound by desire
|
I'm bound by the duty
|
|
I'm coming back in 500 years
|
and the first thing I'm gonna do
|
when I get back here
|
is to see these things I love
|
and they'd better be here
|
|
first I'm going to find a forest
|
and stand there in the trees
|
and kiss the fragrant forest floor
|
and lie down in the leaves
|
and listen to the birds sing
|
the sweetest sound you'll ever hear
|
|
and everything the dappled
|
everything the birds
|
everything the earthness
|
everything the verdant
|
the verdant green
|
|
I'm bound by the fire...
|
|
then I'm going to find an open field
|
and lie down in the flowers
|
and then I'm going to find a guitar
|
and play play play for hours
|
and then I'm going to find a river
|
to see what kind of body in
|
|
and everything the granite
|
everything the kiss
|
everything the earthness
|
everything the verdant
|
the verdant dream
|
|
I'm bound by the beauty
|
I'm bound by desire
|
I'm bound to keep returning
|
I'm bound by the beauty of the light
|
the slightest change
|
the constant rearrange
|
of light upon the land
|
I'm bound by the beauty of the wind
|
that blows across the earth
|
the unfetteredness the wheatness
|
and through the flying hair
|
the slowness of the falling leaves
|
across this warm November door
|
and the geese the flying southness
|
the arms out evermore
|
I'm bound by the snow
|
the soft the fallingness
|
the everupward face...
|
the everupward face...
|
bound by the sunsets
|
the rivers
|
the music
|
the beauty...
|
