lyrics
Troubled, troubled sleep
Wake with heavy, heavy eyes
Dream after dream dye the dark water
Now streaks of light thread eastern skies
Here on the fringe of night and day
So many fears are woven in
To the strands of solid thought
Finally consciousness wins
Peaceful morn, mind at ease
Walk to work through cool clean air
Each familiar tree and corner
Knit a warm and woolen layer
Yes, peace of mind in certainty
Guarantees of a safe passage
No crimson wool wound in the weave
From birth to death, the sweet hereafter
Look at them now, the colours are beautiful
So beautiful when you cease to fight
You put on She’s So Unusual,
Listen to “All Through the Night”
This is how it goes -
you weave in you weave out
you weave until the pattern shows
This is how it goes -
you breathe in you breathe out
you breathe until the heartbeat slows
This is how it goes - colour enclosed a picture show
This is how it goes - above all else, protect the throat
Last night I dreamed a yellow field
A man therein with arms wide open
A myriad cardinals circled round
Suddenly were gone, enter the raven
That dark bird lit on the man’s shoulder
Whispered in his ear
A scrap of cloth took from his throat
Then arose and disappeared
Sing take this scarf and let it hang
On an old familiar hook
Then walk away new wool in loom
Move into an unwritten book
Look at them now, the colours are beautiful
So beautiful when you cease to fight
You put on She’s So Unusual,
Listen to “All Through the Night”
This is how it goes -
you weave in you weave out
you weave until the pattern shows
This is how it goes -
you breathe in you breathe out
you breathe until the heartbeat slows
This is how it goes - colour enclosed a picture show
This is how it goes - above all else, protect the throat
