Lyrics
It's not your lover. It's not your friend
It's hungry dogs at the end of Zen
I did my best, whatever that is
Squandered the treasure, wherever it went
And if you could hear me, here or wherever
I pray for you, partner. I'll hold your temper
Whenever in light
Whatever in song
Is only a knife, cutting your chord
And If you can hear me, brother, sister
Know that you're near me, we are together
Whenever in light
Whatever in song
Is only a knife, carving your form
And never enough, never the same
Do you ever get tired?
Do you ever get tamed?
If only in sport, if only in pain
I pray for you, partner. I pray for your aim
Whenever in light
Whatever in storm
It's only a knife, it cuts things apart
Through narrow parlours, through this crooked city
Out from the harbour, and north to frozen country
Curr, I'm only human, I do things when I'm ready
Whenever in light
Whatever in song
It's only a knife, cutting your chord
And never enough, never the same
Do you ever get tired?
Do you ever get changed?
If only in force, if only in fame
I pray for you partner, I pray for your reign
Whenever in light
Whatever in song
It's only a fiber we get twirled around
And everything sideways, off in the distance
things will be different, at a lilt of your eyelids
And at a very wide angle, at a very far distance
In another tight circuit, we all get twisted
Whenever in light, whatever in song
It's only a light, cutting your chord
Whenever in light
Whatever in form
It's only a light, guiding you home
