Let's go by the old bridge And look for the riches that I've seen In glints and in flashes On water that's rippling This shrinking island The blight's spreading everywhere A star at the border It's guiding the waves and torches' glare I want you to feel it This surging that's burgeoning It's not in your insides For all the seditious murmurings The ides of summer And treetops a'swayin' evenly Before it's dried up The start of the crumbling And into an evening Of promises and hopeful lies You're here and I'm inside The screen window's billowing It's really raining On down through the canopy Lit up in bright flashes Leaves hiding skeletal forms A song for windless nights And winsome appetites When sunlight blazes I'll be gone Out to the long way back Before it all moves on It's all going faster Inviting, igniting light and sound The air's gone electric Escaping a static cloud Just don't say nothing And unfold your silent wings I'm right here breathing Under the ivy hanging down Nimbus and corona Blooming in concert
