Arches

Endless arc

Of a saint-named station

Where we meet

To drink again

Sky above our situation

Statue behind

Bears no correlation

To now

Impossible and true

I hang

From the ceiling

Turn me off

Or turn me on

Darling

Won’t you let me be light

For you

Too much to say

Words they fail us

Both remain

Till the rude hands of time

Summon you away

Silence tries

To translate love

Night in to day

Still to motion

To hope

Impossible and true

I wait

With feeling

Hold me down

Or let me go

Darling won’t you

Let me throw a tender rope

For you

Oh but steady where you go

Be defenceless

Oh and steady where you aim

This may be endless

Impossible and true

So deep

That we are drowning

Tell me is it yes

Or is it no

Darling

Won’t you let the water flow

Turn me off

Or turn it on

Darling

Won’t you let me be light

For you
