Chantepleure (6:55)
CHANTEPLEURE
( weeping and singing )
Lost the face on my clock, I went for a walk
I returned with dirt on my shoes
I had nothing to lose, some call it blue.
I'm a collage of faces, a mosaic of places
Lance-a-lot's horse in four directions
I'm racin' and chasin', chasin' and racin'
Thirsty for Water, shivering for Fire
Grasping for Earth in this desire
I'm gasping for air, I'm praying for a prayer
Fill my cup until it spills my pain
God's tears on my face, I'm caught in the rain
but I'm feeling again...I'm feeling again
Broke the vase, found the flowers
pieces and petals and powers
of a garden once lost
found a wildflower field when the sun drank the frost
I am both Angel and Fool ...rush into me
save me from sobriety
I am drunken and dreamin,
sunken and schemin
Thirsty for Water, shivering for Fire
Grasping for Earth in this desire
I'm gasping for air, I'm praying for a prayer
Fill my cup until it spills my pain
God's tears on my face, I'm caught in the rain
but I'm feeling again...I'm feeling again
Tumble in my lock and set me free
in one hand chains,
in the other the key
I want the breath of God. I want the thread.
I want the jewel,
the Ruby after the death
Thirsty for Water, shivering for Fire
Grasping for Earth in this desire
I'm gasping for Air,
I'm praying for a prayer
Fill my cup until it spills my pain
God's tears on my face, I'm caught in the rain
but I'm feeling again...I'm feeling again
