Here Nor There

from Spirit's Sleep by Robin Allender

/

lyrics

Hiding the truth in a knot of words,
dismissing it as a false memory.
For years I forgot that particular phrase,
but it came back to me like a union bar,

it came back to me in a drunken dream,
a distant house in the verdancy,
a new way to describe things,
the locus of desire in a streetlight’s beam.

Your schooldays were filled with Arcadian dreams
or that's how my imagination tells it to me,
but what if there aren't really halcyon days
or there are in the sense you can’t remember them.

Tying the truth in a knot of words,
dismissing it as ‘ancient history’.
For years I forgot that particular phrase,
but it came back to me like a union bar,
it came back to me in a drunken dream,
the locus of desire in a streetlight’s beam.
