Man driving alone
what does he feel?
what does he feel?
tell is man lost and grand
or just this road
lives like blips
sit with you for a while
sit with me for a while

like her you're some kind of storm
and in your eyes lean futures shine
magnetic cries
stronger than mine
like henry's june
a great, an awful life
in your eyes

internal bonds
stars make me feel
wide-eyed call feel
or seen through clouds
with extra eyes
when mind like ink through water falls

black flame
03:47
|
|||
|
all ways are the same
magnificent pain
my flight on your chain
your hair like black flame
gone away, sent away, pushed away
circling in the sky
it's all over again, all over again
still proud and untamed
still solitary and lame
lost again, lost his sway, he pines for his mate
circling in the sky, hunting that high
still hunting that high

ritual life entranced
solo myth stance
inward veiling
read me like anais introversion
on the ground my eye
lost a day inch high
inward failing
read me like anais introversion

you turned around inside
to private speak and hide
our holy talking eyes turned away
farewell fair one
seen my life
farewell fair child
been my life
overcoming sight
sad separate climb so high
mortal separate fall

i'm rich
man i'm rich
alone
on this beach
enclothed.... as old as the hills
gliding up
I almost see
the spiral way
things come round
but things come round

by that window in your tiny room
shaken, embracing in the pre-dawn light
we talked the universe through the night
i went back there before they pulled it down
and tried to hold you in my head
sweet things died unnatural deaths
only with you
weeping while flying
only with you
why drink when i should get well
because i need a drowning sign
the waves weep right one wrong time
if i stand here where it all went sour
i can hold it in my head
off springs unnatural death
always you
weeping while flying
always you

here's the coast road we came
the blinding glitter of the harbour past swings

first blue day
staring through the lucid branches
we lay there
i had two fires running out of my eyes
but you spoke the patterns to me
glory glory glory glory
we talked
we talked way up there
thinking down the lucid branches
that golden spot
that wayless grace

strong enough
01:54
|
|||
|
strong enough to wish you goodbye
like some great dark star blazed through my sky
knew you right from the start
you would fall before you would crawl
lost my fate line
my own blaze through time
lone crooked climb
in your thrall
eyes feel you in the sky like we sensed
destined means free of pretence
we always knew we'd meet there in the end
accept it we're sent

see how we seemed to lift him on the sly
see how we seemed to shift him by his eye
his eye...
must be seamed to gift them with your eyes
must be seemed to lift them from their sties
it's all hands by
it's all hands

alastair galbraith Taieri Mouth, New Zealand
Thank you to Josh of otic.ca who has done a huge amount of work releasing Talisman on vinyl.
I've been
releasing records since 1984 on labels ranging from xpressway and flying nun to table of the elements. But I most appreciate bandcamp digital sales, because they bring in pocket-money! and you see who bought what, and get to change anything the way you want. Yay Bandcamp !
