Saw his ax between the trees
He took his aim right at my knees
Still I am one.
Hid behind the trees in fright
I stood there frozen through the night
But he was gone.
Did he find another world?
Well I don’t know.
Either way it’s time to cry
They tell me so.
Pull myself between the sticks
The sky was dim, the mud was thick
Still I am one.
Something move inside my hair
I jump three feet, was that him there?
No he is gone.
Find a town to wander there
Without a name.
Watch them throw their marbles down
For one more game.
The town. Mirrors all around.
Windows to the sky. So I shut my eyes.
And in the darkness flow. Into the woods I go.
The night a single time. The town a single mind.
Take a breath to watch the sky
See it open big blue eye
Yeah we are one.
Hang their clothing on the line
Through alleyways the people wind
Into the dawn.
You could ask them where to stay
But they won’t know.
They just came to laugh and play
They’ll tell you so.
