lyrics

Do we believe too much
In things as they are?
Superstitious reverence
For that which exists

Finding no cause
To value the rare, delicate soul
O I had such thoughts, but...

>>A dream of eight wooden giants, fog-bound and fading
Exploding and sparking an ancient moon-bog alight
Oscillating from something back to nothing
In the black Connemara night<<

>>A distant pulsing in my still-waking mind
Twisting and turning I seek to find again
Those flickers of thought, quenched by first Winter rain
I plod on, Traveller my name<<

Divine turns inane
Wonder to rationality
And all of that from before
Slowly leaves

O to dwell in visions,
Little memories and dreams of childhood
From which we journey far
To slowly return

After we twist and turn
Inch our way out
Cease to exist but
It's not the end

See that departure point?
See how it shines?
How fast a vista turns
To a moment behind

See how it shines then fades away?
This is what you were like
Just a dot in my hand
