lyrics

See the man in tall pale reeds there
a good man in a stand of water
tall hair cat tails
not there at all
He’ll join us in patter and laughter
as a skimming stone that got faster
and we’ll stretch the ripples to the shore

Last year he made it up those stairs
and we sat around on these hard chairs
and we played with the phases of the tune
Now how deep does his low go
he’s the bottom of our high pitched solos
from his seat in the valley of the moon

and the waves
of the stereo
sing out sounds
he loves so well
oh God
is this really going to be another
open ended odd farewell

When two gather in their names
hear a chuckle just beyond the doorway
see the gold lamp dampen down the room

Every joke smart and fleeting
let’s rip it up for the quizzical beings
in their seats in the valley of the moon
