See me look unveiled
When I walk out of the canyon
And see me start to climb
At the end of day
But whos there to see me walk out?
Theres no beacon
No sun to block out
No bird of blaze
A Close Dark Voice says
Do you really think theres anybody out there?
So what?
No one sees me
What do I care now that the Black Night has seized me?
On a mountains mane
I climb to my claim
And I am aimless, alone, and unraveling
And above Barren Wastelands stare at me
They know my name
What do you want?
And I know ill be in the air
And that my trail passes lions lairs
And I see summits buried in more air
Buried in space
See Phil? Theres no end in sight
How many times have I learned this before?
How many times have I made up this song before?
How many times have I died up here before?
And oh how hidden tomorrow morning is
What heavy fog
What wide shadow!
Universe, I know you
