As you close your eyes

From the water

A golden light wanders with the birds

Where have you been

What have you seen

All the peace when you come following

I’ll tell you it’s worth it all

On my icy rim

Behind your golden eyelids

Are drops of your hair

Oh, but your tears

That your cancer’s fade

On the source of it

On your voice sings rain


My twins were born

Far too early

Called out and laid in our bed of heat

Lead me from this dark house

With your bold fingers

Turn this wicked toxin into a golden church

Please tell me it’s worth it all

On your heart beats rain

Behind your golden eyelids

Float with birds in your hair

Oh, no words

That your mouth left unread

Oh my arms are your bed

Your heart beats red


You have such a good heart

For wondering

All the peace when I come following?

You told me it’s worth it all

On my icy rain

Worn behind your golden eyelids

Beyond the last words you said

Oh, I followed

On my float away kids

Let your arms be our bed

And my eyes see red
