Something jewelled slips away
   round the next bend with a splash
   laughing at the hands i hold out
   only air within their grasp
   all you can do is praise the razor
   for the fineness of the slash
   i see the Rose above the sky
   opens
   and the light behind the sun
   takes all
  
   gutless arrogance and rage
   burn apart the best of tries
   you carry the weight of inherited sorrow
   from your first day till you die
   toward that hilltop where the road
   forever becomes one with the sky
   i see the Rose above the sky
   opens
   and the light behind the sun
   takes all
  
   ozone on the midnight wind
   got me thinking of the sea
   and the mercies of the currents that brought
   me to you and you to me
   and in the silence at the heart of things
   where all true meetings come to be
   i see the Rose above the sky
   opens
   and the light behind the sun
   takes all
