There is no such place,
o yes i have seen it too
just a little different from how you do,
a river winding blue among the dunes
and a marble bed
a sun that doesn't set but settles.
there is no such place.
if i lower mine to yours
would you kiss me on the face?
if you're looking for an unmarked place,
there is no such place
Blasted in appearance and
a composite of fearful minutes
frozen in the waking instant
longing, things i long for,
peaceful nights,
strangers at the door,
o come in, come in,
you've been here before.
there is no such place,
so perhaps we have a reason
for our long and falling face,
above all it would be warm
but we would keep our heads all
clear as winter, storms would be
a sight to make us shiver
but without the chill
of thinking all is hither-thither
Longing,
things i long for,
peaceful nights,
strangers at the door,
o come in, come through the door,
you've been here before,
you've been here before
there is no such place,
o yes i have seen it too
just a little different from how you do,
a house upon a hill with no windows
just a can upon the sill
to catch your tears
to feed your garden.
