Sojourner

There's but one faun in the sky

Who brooks like you and I

Who sings his lullabies off key

Who's mystified you

Nay, reminds you of how life used to seem

But now, we're together now

Yet somewhere I must somewhere find

That somewhere I should be

And given eyes to lead

It's I, sojourner, I (I, sojourner, I)

I, sojourner, lead (I, sojourner, lead)

I know such tears are admirable

Brought out of year and sensible

But all you'll sight is not your kind

He's setting up for nighty-night

Palindrome, palindromes (palindrome, palindromes)

So here you hear belief

Heaven's on the beam

Where I, sojourner, I (I, sojourner, I)

I, sojourner (I, sojourner) flee

In lieu of frozen flame (in lieu of frozen flame)

In step of temporal rage (in step of temporal rage)

As crucifixus I've played right through this

This waning spell of strange (waning spell of strange)

Yet somewhere (somewhere) I must somewhere find (somewhere)

That somewhere (somewhere) I should be (be)

And given eyes to lead

It's I, sojourner, I (it's I, sojourner, I)

I, sojourner, I (I, sojourner, I)

Deus ex, unknown (deus ex, unknown)

Deus ex machine atoned (deus ex machine)

Was briar 'round the maypole

Sour milk disgraceful

And shot on the late-late show

Yet then they rose

And like the rue he hath bloomed (and like the rue)

Love each other

Love done true

I'm here with you

At home with you

If I'm younger (if I'm younger)

It's you that's moved (it's you that's moved)

This wizened man (oh, oh)

Into the child (oh, oh)

Sevens I can learn

Of heavens, I can offer (of heavens I can offer)

A resurrection won off forever (off forever)

As free as you can free

Is free as I'll consider (is free as I'll consider)

On slivers of the gray

We're forever (we're forever)

Forever (forever)
