Thousand Names

I met her on a concrete block On the road to Taj Mahal Spinning future silhouettes Of life and love and all And I said, “Will we meet again?” She said, “I’m everywhere at once and I'm nowhere just the same.” I said, “Woman what should I call you?” “I am called the Lady of a Thousand Names" A Thousand Names I met her in a cloud of dust While I was piling up the time Facing possibilities Of what is and isn’t mine And I said, “Will we meet again?” She said, “I’m everywhere at once and I'm nowhere just the same.” I said, “Woman what should I call you?” “I am called the Lady of a Thousand Names" A Thousand Names She found me at the precipice And pulled me back from the very brink She taught me finest poverty And why the hot air sinks And I said, “Will we meet again?” She said, “I’m everywhere at once and I'm nowhere just the same.” I said, “Woman what should I call you?” “I am called the Lady of a Thousand Names" A Thousand Names I’m finally learning secret truth In the phases of the moon Crescent fading to the left Darkness at high noon And I said, “Will we meet again?” She said, “I’m everywhere at once and I'm nowhere just the same.” I said, “Woman what should I call you?” “I am called the Lady of a Thousand Names" A Thousand Names The story ends with futures lost And in the past regained The lies that drive all present tense Yield and fall away And I said, “Will we meet again?” She said, “I’m everywhere at once and I'm nowhere just the same.” I said, “Woman what should I call you?” “I am called the Lady of a Thousand Names" A Thousand Names A Thousand Names A Thousand Names A Thousand Names
