lyrics

circling backwards, a spiral parade
of lives that you once could have lived, now erased

and here in their place
reflecting the light
the magnolia buds
burst & drown in yr eyes

all comes out right if you give it the time
a place you return to if only to find

that the stores have all changed, but the horizon's the same
and the love that you named, like a gas held encased
spread out to fill, beyond being contained

in a slow fading spiral
a cascade of vines
the quiet, unchanging
obsessions of time

soft tending hands to give shape to the form
I can only hope that the beauty of this place outlives me-

that the deserts will bloom & the tropics will breathe
and even if all cities fall into the sea

then the shells of the scallops
will find new edges of beach
to be crushed into sand
by the palms of some beast
that's gone yet unseen

& all of the time I spent distracted by
what had already gone or not yet to arrive

while here in their place
holding blossoms of light
the magnolia buds
burst & drown in yr eyes
