Go there as the tide rolls in
Of weathered and unsoftly skin
Close your eyes and I will sing
and marry you to better things
Far from wind and stormy idle thoughts
and cares and pain and cries
I’ll take you if you close your eyes
Into a place beyond the night
To guarded ground, awake and mad
Where loving lives with hazel jazz
Veins of leaves stretch again
Shaking fists to quarrel
Find your quarrel
Find your quarrel
Find your quarrel
Find your quarrel
Find your quarrel
Shake shackled gates
Bend back golden bars for heaven’s sake
Fated mistakes congeal and sit
like the deep dark trench of vistas in retreat

If you feel like mist that graciously draws edges silken, as bitter clouds burst in droplets – a burnt hand would warily seek their comforting warmth – to let you wash your shame in tears; luxuriously tonguing atonement&salt , then this is what I recommend to you.
