Lyrics
#295 Path of Rigmarole / #249 Heaven and Earth / #254 Yes
Path of Rigmarole by Patrick Thomas Connolly
I saw you way up in the clouds
Say that you will allow me taped up
I am reaching for the key sound
climbing (aspiring) for your misty ground
extending bending shaping sound
Sometime it's so cold and bare
Then you turn around and it's hot
Spread melody out into cords of emotion
that hold in air.
And listen it's all over.
Repeat and retreat over your hills of clouds
you can hear it now, your shadow o'er me
'I'll cover and treat.
Crackling energized tracks are extending
passing out and passing in, Not ending
the turning, tuning never sending
And I, not of earth but sky divided into a birth
space peering over edges that burst and fly seeds spinning,
expanding, stretching
expanding, stretching.
