What I came to miss has no name
I can only try to describe
As a young man it felt as though I perfectly mirrored the sky
When it rained,
I rained
When it was grey
I was grey
And when the sun came out
I came out of myself
As if I were shedding a skin and stepping into a new beautiful world:
My whole chemistry,
Seasonally affective
And I paid much more attention to the sky than I do these days
There just seemed to be more sky
And its clouds passed through me and its rain was absorbed deep into my skin
And its snow
Settled on my heart
What I came to miss has no name
I can only try to describe
When a boy I ran home over fields
As it turned dark, my heart beating in my mouth
After some almighty adventure
And the sky ran after me
And its clouds like grey eagles, wings outstretched, clawed
And this was my fear of the impending night
What I felt within, turned inside out
And mirrored in the sky
And mirrored in the sky
Turned inside out
And mirrored in the sky
Turned inside out
And mirrored in the sky
Turned inside out
And mirrored in the sky
