Make Way for the Living

Always in and out of love somewhere
Between sleep and waking
Sanskrit songs, last night’s dream
And the toll that life’s been taking
There’s talk of mysteries and places roamed by poets
Heaven and earth are meeting and fallen tears best show it
Make way for the living
Make way for the living
Bright against a black sky
And the shadow of the moon
Make way for the living
Thinking no mystery should go unchallenged we get
Flowers bloom outside your window for no one’s sake and yet
Morning arrives so gorgeous like a great dog yawn
Somewhere on a back street night chose to become the dawn
Amber round your neck and silver on your arm
Blue light in your window girl you have a certain charm
Look now as the sky falls and rises up again
Look at yourself here in the afternoon rain
