I Am All That I Need / Arroyo Seco / Thumbprint Scar

I am all that I need

And I'll be till I'm through

And I'm light on my feet

Good to be without you

Distant light, distant dancer

Mute at midnight

She might look like the answer

But I'm all that I need

So, it's true I've gone too far to find you

And the thumbprint scar I let define you

Was a myth I made you measure up to

It was all just water, winding by you

And the basking, gnashing, foaling, feeding

And the rising, falling, melting, freezing

And the raising for destroying feeling

(All we do, this repeats)

You've got all you need on me

And now I see that it's all corroding

Soonest seething, soonest folding

But the night won't last if you just hold fast, so calm down

(I am hardly made of steel)

Tell me, are you so concealed?

(Can't I just go to sleep?)

You're no more so blind to me

Exit out of the city

Now memory

Are you alone?

I don't believe you

Are you at home? I'll come right now

I need to see you

Thin as a shim and scottish pale

Bright white light like a bridal veil

I don't need you

I was a child in the ivy then

I never knew you, you knew me

Not like you knew me

Off on the other ocean now

All is behind you, all is sea

Back into the city

At the edge of the ocean
