Lyrics

Smithereens

She sleeps in waves
Forgotten days and honeyed memories
Played out on her eyelids
Yellow cars and cotton hearts flicker through the haze
Vague and undecided

A body numb
Sailing on a guided undertow
Night still pulls your daydreams
And failing lines like withered vines are gathered to the pole
And blown to smithereens..

Oh the veil divides
The wind picks up, the world slipped on it side
They come to comfort me
And then spin on through the sunlight endlessly

Sleeping sound, dropping down and coming round again
Be careful with your moments
They hang inside the pale light projected from a dream
Dust grains in the beam

Will we go through the hole in the curtain
As particles without a form
Dancing in perpetual motion
Drawing lines of connection
To catch the heavens as they fall

They hang and spin on fragile wing
Suspended in a beam
A corridor to something more
And they’re moving in between
If you catch it right you get a sight of another life
Golden blue and green
Where everything is absolute and everything in smithereens
And everything, the natural, the everything is smithereens
And everything is fused to light, the everything in smithereens
And everything..
