Against the wildest moorings of the sun
What are you but the quietest harmony?
Symmetry is ageless litany.
You were born, you have lived, you have become.
Can I sing to you to help you understand?
I’m no Father to you, I’m just a man.
I couldn’t give you my name.
I’ll give you the song of my name.
What we’ve lost can’t measure who we are.
Winter grows from flowering peonies.
Litanies from ageless symmetry.
Who we are, what we were, afar.
Can I sing to you to you and hope you’ll understand?
I’m no lover to you, I’m just a man.
I couldn’t give you my name.
I’ll give you the song of my name.
