Once more I’ve gone and left it out again
Once more I’ll just have to go back down the road
Well sometimes it feels like I get so carried away
Before night returns again
Night returns dissolving all and leaving me
No face at all no field of vision
A faint recall – some sense of a missing thing
The light of ill-ease
The phosphorous bones
The joy of trouble
Only these memories
Strike a light – carry me
Once again the joy of trouble
Generates the drop of gold
Here it comes again
This chiming bloodied field
Where on and on….
I believe in a place
There’s a place so huge
So true that you won’t want to run
To run away to the small familiar
Everywhere I got I carry a photo
