Manhattan Morning (Christmas '72)

A man conceived a moment's answers to the dream Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes As a foundation left to create the spiral aim A movement regained and regarded both the same All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you Changed only for a sight the sound, the space agreed Between the picture of time behind the face of need Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid Emotion revealed as the ocean maid All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you Oh, coins and crosses never know their fruitless worth Cords are broken locked inside the mother earth They won't hide, they won't tell you Watching the world, watching all of the world Watching us go by And you and I climb over the sea to the valley And you and I reached out for reasons to call Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid Emotion revealed as the ocean maid As a movement regained and regarded both the same All complete in the side of seeds of life with you Sad preacher nailed upon the colored door of time Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify Political ends, as sad remains, will die Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you I listened hard but could not see Life tempo change out and inside me The preacher trained in all to lose his name The teacher travels, asking to be shown the same In the end, we'll agree, we'll accept, we'll immortalize That the truth of the man maturing in his eyes All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid As a moment regained and regarded both the same Emotion revealed as the ocean maid A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning And you and I reach over the sun for the river And you and I climb, clearer, towards the movement And you and I called over valleys of endless seas
