letra de fatherlight - faded paper figures
[intro: robert bly]
we are leaving our time now
we are leaving our time now
there are places where time moves more slowly than here
we honor all four directions
east, west, north, south…
[verse 1]
in the fatherlight
i lost my comp-ss and i lost my sight
at the fireside
i sat too close and then i burned my eyes
and was it temperament
that kept us from saying all the things we meant?
[chorus]
fatherlight
fatherlight
fatherlight
[verse 2]
hear the city call
with faster highways and with alcohol
can we synchronize
with time so different, generation-wise?
and was it temperament
that kept us from saying all the things we meant?
in the countryside
(so many things now i cannot tell you)
i lost my country when i left your side
(the broken bones of a shattered world view)
now you think i’m gone
(and in the er lights i saw you)
but take my hand and let me prove you wrong…
(reaching up like you thought you might break through)
[chorus]
fatherlight
fatherlight
[outro: robert bly]
and we also honor the fifth direction
the vertical one
which is in us
today, here
