to death and birth and all that comes between, even when they come together...
...to my beloved Theodore
lyrics
A weather change takes me by surprise,
i find there is so much here to mind
if you dare to use that eye
Weather change, the sun it shines so bright
i'll take your hand, even though it's made of light
'cause you my dear are made of light
but i am stuck here throwing shadows
i cast a shadow even when you shine on me
won't you take me, take me to your higher place
'cause i don't really get it here
down on Earth where death and birth
apparently comprise it all
down on Earth where death and birth
sometimes come together,
then i fail to understand, i just fail to understand
so you slip between my hands
Been here for, for a while but still
somehow fail to see it clear
illusions bloom my dear
now and then i somehow come to reach
the universe and the lesson that you wanna teach
but then it's gone and...
i get lost here with my shadow
don't mind my shadow when you come to shine on me
won't you take me, take me to your higher place...
'cause i don't really get it here
down on Earth where death and birth
apparently comprise it all
down on Earth where death and birth
sometimes come together,
then i fail to understand, i just fail to understand
so you slip between my hands
..and even waves here have a shadow
don't mind my shadow when you come to shine on me
if weather can still surprise me then
i still have a lot to learn
if weather can still surprise me then
i still have a lot to learn
and there is so much left to learn...
better face the truth my dear
death and birth sometimes come together
when you're stuck down on the Earth
To my son, who inspired and co-written this song with me, who taught me the most, who lead my way through the darkness.
My soul is joy when you come to shine on me.
