From the recording Grand White Silk
Lyrics
I get these ideas that I should write about the world
Widen my horizon
Broaden my view
Travel more to tell more
I get these ideas that art should represent rather than be
Explain to us the system we all go by
Touch us so we love more
And then the night comes
And my visions of holding the globe slip
My arms are too short
I can’t get a tight grip
Instead it is just one good intention sailing among thousands
In an infinite universe expanding
And while dark matter pours in all directions
We rise and fall
Come and go
I wanna be more than energy
I wanna be whole
I get these ideas that I must fill the blank spots
Read the history, thoroughly
Speak new languages, fluently
Learn more to live more
I get these ideas that I must keep getting ideas
Come up with something new
Surprise and impress you
Be more to be liked more
And then the night comes
And I put it all aside
All my visions and intentions seem to drift off with the tide
But if I can have another morning
And another and another after that
I know I’ll try more
To give more
