I live in the place where you perceive nothing: look again.
I am the arrow point that finds the boar's heart.
I am the flicker of red from a blackbird's wing
I am the feathers sprouting from your most secret wounds
You will teach me of flying; I will stand on your shoulders and leap.
And all will come right, I swear it: we will meet where the forest is deepest,
Where the night is blank, and there are no stars
For I am your annihilation, come to make peace.

Who Should Know
We say farewell you board the train
I glimpse your face as true as flame
The girl I knew our youngest years
I look to see reflections there
By this song I pledge to thee
Who should know better than me?
The rains will pass evoke your voice
I walk alone by my own choice
This esplanade where lovers walk
To taste new wine and truly talk
By this song I pledge to thee
Who should know better than me?
And if your arms where I did lie
Should hold again should find new eyes
In them reveal the worth of you
Sweet liberty the core of you!
By this song I pledge to thee
Who should know better than me?
And when we pass in autumn streets
The densest skies the swiftest streams
I find repose within your gaze
Delight with you in old love play
By this song I pledge to thee
Who should know better than me?
The wind begins this song is done
And lovers dream in sweet restraint
But I find repose within your gaze
Delight with you yes in old love play
No sweeter joy I think it?s true
Who should know better than you?
Who should know better than you
