Farewell To A Percival - Simon Joyner[00:00:00]
So you planned to chip away at trouble[00:00:14]
But it left you standing in the rubble[00:00:20]
Now your tears are trapped in crystal puddles[00:00:26]
With a stone portrait of your double[00:00:32]
And if you begged me to remain around[00:00:43]
Would grief keep tearing at your gown[00:00:48]
All the sadness waltzing around your frown[00:00:54]
Well it's bound to bring some ceilings down[00:01:00]
Now there ain't no reason my heart will hear[00:01:09]
So you can shed the pickax and climbing gear[00:01:15]
But please don't stand and watch my back disappear[00:01:22]
As I fade into the mountains there[00:01:28]
Whose to say the sky is mean[00:01:38]
If it stands between you and your kingdom[00:01:43]
They say some things are meant to be seen[00:01:49]
And some things are meant to be kept hidden[00:01:56]
All those saints who feed on virtue are ruthless[00:02:26]
Saying you need a deed to be so virtuous[00:02:32]
And guilt is vainly plainly discouraged[00:02:38]
As we kow-tow to their courage[00:02:44]
But I saw the glorious white arch fall[00:02:53]
And the great soldier children were crushed and all[00:03:00]
The townspeople looked and saw their shadows[00:03:05]
And then had to stay inside and drain their pillows[00:03:11]
Then I had a dream seven nights in a row[00:03:20]
You were following me through all these doomed places I go[00:03:28]
Well I knew I was weak but I guess I didn't know[00:03:35]
I was in need of a guardian angel[00:03:41]
Whose to say the sky is mean[00:03:49]
If it stands between you and your kingdom[00:03:55]
They say some things are meant to be seen[00:04:01]
And some things are meant to be kept hidden[00:04:07]
The river I follow has turned so small[00:04:36]
I can't hardly swallow any strength at all[00:04:42]
And the pale fish rotting in its muddy walls[00:04:49]
I know they lost their eyes before they stalled[00:04:55]
So I search and I yearn and I barely breathe[00:05:04]
And the person who once knew you is no longer me[00:05:10]
With my torn yellow map and my dry canteen[00:05:17]
I can't stop to count my blessings[00:05:22]
Or the curved lines of longitude[00:05:31]
I burned as if they were fuses[00:05:37]
To pass the mirage and land the oasis[00:05:43]
Where I'm going to fill up all these empty spaces[00:05:49]
Whose to say the sky is mean[00:05:59]
If it stands between you and your kingdom[00:06:03]
They say some things are meant to be seen[00:06:11]
And some things are meant to be kept hidden[00:06:16]
To pass the mirage and land the oasis[00:06:46]
Where I'm going to fill up all these empty spaces[00:06:53]
And free myself of these earthly races[00:06:59]
I'll send you my thirst first and then the laces[00:07:05]
Of my shoes[00:07:14]
