lyrics

Think of the long trip home
Should we have stayed home and thought of here
Where should we be today?
Is it right to be watching strangers in a play, in this strangest of theatres?
What childness is it, that while there's a breath of life in our bodies, we continue to rush to see the sun, the other way around?
The tiniest green hummingbird in the world
To stare at some inexplicable old stonework
Inexplicable and impenetrable, at any view
Instantly seen and always, always delightful
Oh must we dream our dreams and have them too?
Or have we room, for one more folded sunset?
Still quite warm
