LYRICS:
don't
awaken me
there's no hurry
nowhere to go
let me stay here
here in this room
full of secrets
where i can play
i'd be approving
if i can stay
by the window
and be in harmony
with myself
that would be nice
very peaceful
i like the view
why should there be
somewhere to be
so early
i don't agree
with this notion
stay in my house
i don't quite
remember
way out above the house beyond the hill there was a pegasus boy
who used to sing of the absurdity of his mind
and so reluctant to be confined to something serious
and he would laugh and venture down to sit inside the gallery hall
stay by the wall and try to paint what he couldn't see
and accidentally conjured me by some coincidence
and how I was alive and how my soul came crashing out of the void
I didn't question it, I thought it would be unkind
it's just the way that I was designed, that's why I went with it
don't awaken me
we're still flying
and all the creatures there below us
may be dying
don't say a word
i won't listen
down in the atrium
that pegasus is trying
to slip away
does this all the time
i know i'll see him
when his business is concluded
happy to wait here
that will be fine
and when it's over
there will come a sudden moment
when i will gather all the
poetry and painting
and all the waters will go quiet
and remarkably clear
that's how i know that i can stay
unreservedly undefined, forever far away
oh the days of silence
a still and soft defiance
is still in here within me
hills and plains so windy
the salt and shape of seabirds
another shade of blue
another playful moment
that i don't quite remember
remember
