I Was Unnamed
Our hidden love is wilder than we know A let out breath of evergreen and spruce We cannot hold, we could not ever hold
Before I was your love, I was that loose And captivating dark, I was unnamed I was the shake of fur on shaggy buttes
And rivers swollen with the sheeting rains And I have been the valleys that were drowned And I have been the mountain that remains
As brown and certain as a muddy mound That lived its lifetime in a rocky brook Before I was your love, we were the ground
Where through the heated centuries we shook Beneath life's smoky, undulating plume Watched men like starfish spinning in the soot
Where life throws up its colors in a bloom And earth will take their ashes back again Each certain that his time has come too soon
But how we can forget these things, my friend Beneath the clanging changing of the hour Where clambering word over word, and hand over hand
In endless search of permanence and power In hurry as if the throne were never far away We trample over perfect, blazing flowers I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake The glinting willows stop me where I stand Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I can remember long forgotten names I can remember stretching wide my hands
To summon something sentient and strange Our fire beating back the dark, we call All human only this side of the change
From something into something else I fall into the space between their names. The age of mountains, the age of waterfalls
Must flood our human frames, the age Of oceans drown the sound of clocks in singing whales The dreamer turns the page
There, on the evening shore, we stop to talk Where crabs bend their machinery to pray The moonlight carving faces in the rock
The city's cloak of noises falls away The ocean tumbles, tossing in its bed I hear its fiery waves I taste its spray
I touch your fiery cheek, I taste the red Of our lives' rivers, singing as they go To meet the midnight sea where they were bred
Colossal tideline, generous and slow Our hidden love is wilder than we know
