Spanish Sun

Spanish Sun
Spent a day feasting
My way through the grove
Leafing tobacco
Holding a pattern
A hand in her hip
I’ve seen this before
The ocean is pushing
A seed to the shore
Cutting my feet
Blood is the sky
The pharaoh is driving
Then asks for a song
Casts a net wildly
Castanets rising
Hoping to catch
River john

Spanish Sun
Opaline vapour
Waters azure
The argermone moan
Roll into the shore
Lark gives me hash
Recovering plastic
The deluge is arcing
And spits with a splash
Feeding the wild pigs
Iberian ham
One is due courtesy
And driving us mad
Mercury rising
Conceiving with you
The silence is pregnant
Just thinking it through
River john
River john

Spanish Sun
Spanish Sun
My heartbeat is rhythm
A simple drum
The eyes in my night
The skin in my Sun
Just 'cause you didn’t
Don’t mean that you did
Without what there isn’t
Can’t be what there is
River john
River john

The sky bleeds a rhythm
The heaven is dripping
The summer is given
A shape and a form
From solstice is static
The spark is a magnet
Accumulates flesh
And then takes to the Sun
The light is enveloped
And tide is propellant
The culmination
Of a circular thrum
To each is a candle
She reaches the handle
Opens and says
River john
River john
River john
River john
River john
