I lost track of the days... "Track 'em down through the shades" I'm Trackin' reins in the rain "Babe, Are you ready?" Yeah...

Shipping Out 02:56
No way out Of this pain Deep water is rising And the wind blowin It howls like a dog Stealing the covers from over The dark sky of the coast In the black sand charcoal Nothing can keep me here Tonight Blood on my hands Prisms in my eyes This world is so surreal As we are shipping out now On the cold cast of the Sea It is dusk now And there is a face in the clouds

I see her In the fog of the silver sea In front of me She moves with the life of many lives I must have fallen asleep in the night And dreamed of a Beautiful old woman She gave me a rose She gave me another reason to Love For Love was all that I lost "Somewhere," she said "On a mountain hillside In a soft bed of night Under the Pleiades Your Love will come to you there And show you everything You will hear the toll When dawn is nigh Her heart has deeps As your mind is unwise And her eyes are on fire And deep in your chest, my son, Lives a Rhymer." Then I was alone By the shore again On that oakwood doc I climbed aboard I set free the lines Knowing long before this Ship set sail There were ghosts on the brine "Fare thee well" Fare thee well "Raphael" Fare thee well "Fare thee well" Fare thee well "Raphael"

A storm was building on the front And the sky was red No way out Hailing and raining Passing straight through Until the tempest's end The sun is not forgotten The sun is gold And it looks at you While you pass through The nowhere's wall Unto the call

...And this is only a beginning, my love, truly this is a beginning. Everything that has happened will play again and again in the heart of yr mind, like a sour wind that cups over the foothills after its long journey over desert plains. And what can you recall? amid such acrid memorials and disdainful histories - a world remains - as beautiful as the hour we first watch the comets emblazon each other's peaks and pitches of colors in each other's irises lost in the jaden mountain valleys where yarrow grows among the ponderosa as well as the juniper. And in the curious etchings of our eyes, of the ancient sky bedecked with a thousand golden tsink-tsinks, each sordid memory will be transfigured under the salty sweat of the Sea, and we will know that which we have always known but had forsook... it is the Great Love that returns to us after having been gone so long...
