I'd take you
when I go
but where I'm going isn't anything
but the place we were before
a stallion pulls a carriage full of greed
a witch-coat lays unruffled on the path
a thousand tiny inkwells on an altar to the lord
and a key to turn the latch unbroken

I made the sun
I'll make it rain
rain on your house
I'm waiting for you
and when you've come
we shall remain
here in my heart
I'm waiting for you

undaunted
as we are
by the billion-headed insect that awaits us
turning wishes into stars
we set aside a stroller full of moonbeams
we turn an ancient yearning into gold
we peel apart and stand inside a matchbox
irrelevant and yet eternal

I made the sun
I'll make it rain
rain on your house
I'm waiting for you
and when you've come
we shall remain
here in my heart
I'm waiting for you

seven winding seas in clocks unhanded
purple digits pointing empty at the moon
an oasis full of lilac and patchouli
forever as eternal as the sun
a sooth unlike a word that's ever spoken
a blinded pharoah turning from the hearth
a whirlwind mind unloosed upon the ethers
forever singing how I love you you you you
how I love you you you you
how I love you
