lyrics

Under a bright sky, night falls hard.
Dusks dampen and brusque dawns fade up the churchyard.
In the winter, I can hear the past
in crunching snow, in squeaking ice.
And in Autumn, the choir of festival lights.

Like a seashell, I'm hearing the roar of a small world.
The spiral leads me to the core.
Each whorl turns toward the curl.

I'm feeling the leaves fall from the depths of lakes,
far from their companions, lonely as saints.
Ocean shrimp dreaming in the net
or queens testing out their moves, locked in their sets.
Sha na na na na

Wandering days give way to wakeful nights
in the mind's scenery, under imagined lights
where all the stones in all the caves
and all the thoughts you've ever saved
dissipate, a new place is paved.

Snow machines slick the slopes upstate
for our enjoyable repass, first or last date.
but the lingering tones of what has been replaced
make your stay so sad that what's good's gone great.
What's good's gone great
What's good's gone great
Sha na na na na
