I want you to know
'vanishing act'
Lou Reed at glass speed
I've also enclosed Feldman's last notes
a hymn
and 'heart food'
in my capsule in space
my capsule in space
my Lord
I want you to know that I'm afraid to sing you this song
but need you to know my shaking voice
weathered and worn by other
love songs
in Your wide plane of stars
Your wide plane of stars
my Love
drifting in Your wide plane of stars
Your wide plane of stars
my Lord
look after me
in my capsule
my capsule

under the overpass
sounds shimmy
and say:
away, away, away, away, away, away... come away
under the overpass
beams buckle and sway
convey, convey, convey, convey, convey, convey... where you're going
come away...
come away...
come my way
under the waterfall
the birdcall
disrobes
forget, forget, forget, forget, forget, forget... where you where
oh... oh... oh... oh...
for nothing holds you in
so spill out of the concrete mold that holds you
holds you in
and float away
for nothing holds you in
so spill out of the concrete mold that holds you
oh, oh, oh
holds you in
for nothing holds you in
so spill out of the concrete mold that holds you
oh, oh, oh
holds you in
for nothing holds you in
so spill out of the concrete mold that holds you
holds you in
and float away
forget where you are going get where you are oh

altocumulus in wildfire
and banks of snow
there's a castle at the day's end
where the sun goes
lift your withered hands
lift your lizard hands
to show
that you hold nothing, you hold nothing
then let it go
an abandoned beach in Florida
the sickly coast
water lapping by the highway
in constant rush
lift your muzzled ears
lift your seagull's head, exult
that at the day's end
the horizon was built
with
holy hands
