Colour Wheel of Days

lyrics

Rain on my page
As I'm sat upon a brick skeleton house by the track
That sinks between the olive trees
The wind on the sea
Is a living shadow wandering
Light as it goes, a robin's footprint in the snow

The sea is to mist, mist to cloud and cloud to rain
Like longing to love
And lives in love to do the same
A break in the clouds sets a spotlight of the sun
on a mountain side
That's up behind the hill I just climbed

To see the colour wheel of days
Paint the panels just to watch them fade

Sign of the cross
At every church of orthodox
A straight line to god, bisected by the greed for life
And so it goes
The head upon the shoulder knows
That to console is holier than letting go.
