Shigawire

Beyond this blue shoreline To white mountains so far away A smooth ocean, train gliding To send spirits home from their day Small houses, passing islands Gentle waves reaching their shores Silent lawns, empty benches Six stations, then we may pause Vague feeling like I'd known this one before A half remembered subtle thing The sun streams in Warm breezes Young evening Blush sweetly Shadow people shrouding the platform slowly dissipate Into realms where shadows go when daylight grows heavy All land is just an island Gentle waves reaching its shore Silent lawns, empty windows Six stations, then we may pause The sky is burning out now Reflections touched by stars Look at me Neon Lights the way Through the night Take my hand, you'll be alright No shadow's lonely when it reaches the night Will you help me overcome my fear Be there when it's near I hope it's far off Some distant summer evening as the colors start to fade The shigawire breaks Take my hand and walk with me In the twilight in between And we shall pass beyond the sea But now lay your head and go to sleep Do I love another To cease my emptiness Do I confide beauty To ease my loneliness Is consciousness borrowed By minds that are compatible Does it transcend or just exist in my head To cease my emptiness Beyond this blue shoreline To white mountains so far away A smooth ocean train, gliding To send spirits on their way
