Light of Saw Dust

Will you go ahead

To the kingdom by the sea

Where shadows are musing

Where land is ever green

Sandal and sun dial

Crushed diamond and pearl

Couldn't comprehend

The depth of your eyes

Pass the aventine

Where everything is perfect

Pictures are glimmering

Images run still

To sift through the shimmer

Of the shimmering sea

All galley are set sail

Pass the perfect hour

Someone toss the compass

Direction still founds itself

Someone light up the martini

To toss the world's funeral pyre

Hour by hour moment by moment

Nights by nights day by day

Are we dreaming or are we drowning

Or are we just sailors

Will you go ahead

To the kingdom by the sea

Where shadows are interesting

Where land is ever seen
