Forever Found

Oh, father said, the corner of his eyes

"You're gonna walk alone today"

With spiraling view into the night

Devotion fades without a warning

Oh, mother said, "Further knows forever

Like light on shattered water"

And now, down and out

Can see the old golden cage

Silent bones shadow the doorway

As I spill into the yellow road

The path will find me one day

At the river bend where we once stood

Oh, brother said

"You're wired up in red thread, a distant lover on a string"

It's light, light enough

Don't look below, the ground is gone, on, on

I was cautioned to remember

There at the bottom of the stairs

I said, "Look over my shoulder

The early leaf is not a flower"

And in the fire, I'm a moth for you

When the silver lining cuts in two

And in the darkness, dreary moon will do

I'm forever lost, forever found with you
