Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. May 4, 2015]

The sun in the room
Illuminates the spoons and plates
In the summer afternoon
The time slipped away
Providing sliding focus
A locus in today
And I wanna know where you're going
And I wanna know where you will stay
The fields and the trees
They say, 'Listen man,
Now she can do as she please'

Wherever you are
Wherever you've been
You can always return here
You know that's a given

The merciful blur
Of distant memory
To shelter me
In its lovely curve
The sound of her voice
Exacting soft vengeance
On the remnants of my little joys
And I wanna know where you're staying
And I wanna know where you will go
The familiar haunts
They say, 'Listen man,
Now she can do what she wants'

Whatever you are
Whatever you say
You can always return here
On almost any day

Wherever you are
Wherever you've been
You can always return here
You know that's a given

Whatever you are
Whatever you say
You can always return here
On almost any day

(Wherever you go
Or ever you see
This merciful blur
This magical lie
This merciful blur
Spread forth and fly)
