Today, the other side of the river
Has disappeared
To where ?
Stumbled into a void ?
Flickering rays of sunshine
Dancing through the leaves of trees.
You run across the grass
And suddenly you see…
Everything fades away in the sparkling mist
A betrayal of the real, an iris
A vertical forest like a wall
A fortress
And suddenly you see…
Words are worlds
Words are worlds
You drive your car
On the haulover road
A corridor in the ether
Floating shreds of haze surrounding you
The reverberation of light is dazzling like the truth
The fog, the mystery thickens and swallows
Suddenly you see…
A cargo ship huge as a block of flats
Slowly going through the garden down the aisle
And it softly passes like a caress.
A galleon sailing among the apple blossoms
Coming to take you
For other times and shores
Between dusk and twilight
Wisteria and honeysuckle
Wafting through the window
In the room upstairs.
A bird call cutting the falling night
A voice of the wild, a warning.
Suddenly you see…
The river has been replaced by seas,
An ocean of possibilities.
You drive your car
On the haulover road
A corridor in the ether
Floating shreds of haze surrounding you
The reverberation of light is dazzling like the truth
The fog, the mystery thickens and swallows
Suddenly you see…
Piano pieces are places where to live,
You learn them to feel in their hollow
This house is one of them
And words are worlds
Coming to take you
For other times and shores
Between dusk and twilight
Wisteria and honeysuckle
Wafting through the window
In the room upstairs.
You drive your car
On the haulover road
A corridor in the ether
Floating shreds of haze surrounding you
The reverberation of light is dazzling like the truth
The fog, the mystery thickens and swallows.
