about
Based on "Dawn" from "Les Illuminations" by A. Rimbaud
lyrics
wake up, wrap your arms around you:
the summer dawn (you the summer dawn)
and nothing yet stirs
on the face of the dirt, no
and the water was dead
and the shadows still camp
on the road ahead (on the road ahead)
and i walk, waking quick oh yeah
and i follow my breath
and the light's making lines through it
light penetrates life and death BOTH
life and death (life and death both life and death)
a flower who told me her name
in a path (in a summer path)
already filled with fresh, pale gleams
and the first venture was
and i laughed at the blond wasserfall
and tousled through the pine
on a summit i recognized the girl (i think i know her)
then, one by one, i lifted her veils
and i was waving my arms, i notified the cock OH
(notified them)
in the city she fled among the steeples
(tried to find her)
and the domes, and running running like a beggar
(running like a)
on the marble quays i chased her.
(running like a)
