Lightning fell and I stood steeping in light 
 Laughing with brilliant fear 
 Turning back to your smile 
    Every door peeled 
 Open on an autumn afternoon 
 We traversed warm boredom 
 Fled disappointment 
 And loved under the wide rose sky   
 Drinking silver from a dim spring of Mercury 
 On the outskirts of a desert 
 The lifeless slither 
 Still we seek thirsting and wandering   
 I was a man made of yesterdays 
 Mornings glowing like coal 
 Blinding the every day 
 Legs buckling together when moving   
 Now I'm faced from the East 
 And rushing to the crest 
 Of the valued vast 
 Sterling purple echoing West   
 Now 
 Now I run from all my truth 
 Away with you 
 Now 
 Now I run from all my truth 
 Away with you   
 To the vast sterling purple echoing West 
 Echoing West   
 From all my truth 
 Away with you 
 West 
 From all my truth 
 Away with you 
 West 
 From all my truth 
 Away with you 
 West 
 From all my truth 
 Away with you
