lyrics

A YEAR IN THE SHADE

here are the arrowheads
where they fell,
a hundred years ago,
to the day;
marking a dead line;
marking a crime.

(if you ever come this way
for A NEW YEAR IN THE SHADE.)

you shake like a rattle here
in the dark.
the brush of trembling skin
in the dark
paints a scene upon the wall
that needs no correction.

if you ever come this way
for A NEW YEAR IN THE SHADE,
for a minute yesterday,
for an hour dressed in time
gone time gone time gone
by.

no moon tonight
to see where you go
no candlelight
to make where you fell,
taking the high wire.

through all our solemn endings,
you remain my solemn friend
till the rains have gone
again
till the rains have gone ...
