text: In and out of focus
  Time turns elastic
  And when I’d stayed too long
  I went outside and stared
  Arms outstretched and long
  Moved straight across the sky
  If I could wrap my arms around this globe
  Hands, touch the green and brown
  I’d sink into the cool, cool ground
  Seen all, seen all, seen all summer
  Seen all, seen all, seen all spring
  But I’m a submarine
  And the submarine sinks below
  The ground
  Now that the leaves have turned to gold
  The moments all glow
  Frozen and free from time
  And out here on my own
  I watch it ebb and flow
  Here, with the fire burning low
  In the honey mist that breathes
  Crooked maple fingers trembling all around
  I feel the winds that blow
  Out here between the dark and light
  The summer’s gone, and the reeds bow down
  As the colors change
  All along the water line
  And when it’s time the landslide will free what froze inside
  While all around the rocks collide
  You finally see the lines
  That point toward the light that never dies
  Melody, shelter in the darkness
  Take hold of me now
  Memory, trapped in a corner
  Dark fingers are long
  But all around streaming down
  Rays of blue light, calling out
  These silver sounds are raining down on me
  Here on the wheel, the rhythm’s turning all around
  Up above the darkened sky is bleeding
  I feel the world turning upside down
  These are the reasons that we lay down on the ground
  Drawn through a funnel, all the colors run together
  Turning brown
  Wait for the waves to come and carry me away
  Down on the ground the sounds of voices in the echoes seem to say
  And as the carousel circles unceasingly
  Watch while the ripples decay in this rolling time
  And cascading, the winds set the wheels in motion
  And it’s turning in the mist around me
  Rolling and turning into the mist around me
  Kissed by the water and held in your mother’s arms
  Green where you tumble and roll in these fields
  The shapes of the bodies that shift in the sun
  While the blossoms all scream and it sleeps around me
  The earth in these memories heals around me
  Touches these woods and these waters all paved with gold
  Gleaming in daylight the voices ring on
  They pull while the pointing lay down in the storm
  And this life is bending and swelling around me
  Rolling and turning into the mist around me
  The winds all rising in the west around me
  And the carousel turns into breath around me
