Somewhere, n.D. - Head North

We met in someone’s wake

Whose, I don’t remember

But there were widows and whitecaps all around

As we sat silent and kept pretending

«I want to see it all, you know,» she said

«I want to live for always and all the lives there are»

As if she hadn’t heard me

Maybe she did

We sat there silent and kept pretending

That either of us knew the reason we had come

Or why the other had come

And I never got to know her

And she never got to know me

That’s the way it goes

So it goes, in love and onward

But I felt the light from that infinite sky

And the voice of the blessed center said, «Rekindle.

Arrive.»

I never believed in one breath after that

I never believed it was the same sun rose that set

And every night when the dark would come on

I’d believe there was no absence strong enough

To keep the day within or without

We hit the earth

There was a wonderful crash

And everything took fire

Everything caught ash

It was over

As simple as we were put here we were gone

The crew compartment’s breaking up

And the passengers are strewn

All across the fields of North Dakota

So it goes, in love and onward

But i felt the light from that infinite sky

And the voice of the blessed center said, «Rekindle.

Arrive.»
