two anthills

from mont amba by Bateau Ivre

/

lyrics

watch the stir of the wind in piles of dead leaves
standing between two anthills my thoughts run free
by the lakeside I notice a broken peace
from so fragile a soul there is no release
so I try to aim high, and I’m scoring low
almost forced to deny that it hurts me so
while aurora shines on her helpless son
struggling with love & life he will speak in tongues
while the doves fly in circles I’m pale and slow
and it all reminds me of my life with you
and I hope the symbols say it’s not wrong
and I hope tomorrow I won’t be alone
while I sit here, too lazy for taking sides
a cloudless night sky it spins you, my northern light
feel the moss on the trees by the path of life
soaring on raven’s wings we will cry from joy
if we stay believing then we’ll be fine
and survive all the seasons through space and time
though there might be a good reason
to accuse me of high treason
please see all we do is strive
to be alive
