A Headlong Stretch: iv. Long Light

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Signs serial

adrift in the air

immaterial

face up to the phosphor flare.

Ghost essence

fuels fire in the rig

incandescence

let's dance out the mystery jig.

Jig,

dance the dance of mystery light

dance the dance, jig,

dance the dance infernally bright.

Dark water

dark fire down below

...storm quarter

time to dance out the mystery - no!

The twelve will swing us to completeness

eight from the cradle to the grave

and all our future projection's

only second guessing seventh waves.....

A break in the connections

we thought were built to last

here's a change in the weather,

Tsunami time

the wave's already rolling in towards us from the past.
