Mushroom Hymn

What day is it What life is this The night was black with clouds And I was a silent thing A quiet abyss I could not speak my world to you Still, we crawled I could not hear the chords But you sang along anyway O beautiful world A river runs over us Like black stones Carry us on to the foggy sprawl What time is it Is that all What sun to dry us off Ocean-sky unseen How you tower above me In the shadow of life We watched the taxi's roll by They made a drunk parade Under gas station lights Then it was silent again Mirage in the rain-slick night
