Repeat the Pattern

Set yourself to the side and admire this anonymous place

A riff to fill up the hour, stretched for years, the space of a day

A rush of rippling paths, echoed lines that bend and decay

What a laugh

Whatever lasts

Repeat the pattern from the beginning

Set yourself to the side and admire this anonymous place

Ice that blankets the hills and beats the bramble down to the clay

Bare ground in between where you were born and where you were laid down

What a laugh

Whatever lasts

Repeat the pattern from the beginning

Conjured life

I've arrived

If I only could keep you

But it wasn't real

Conjured life

A meadow that shimmers in memory

But it wasn't real
