lyrics

I'm sitting in a cabin on a vessel on the sea
And I don't know where I'm going and I don't know where I've been
Solid starts where fluid stops, but no one's drawn the line
Seas of red and skies of green are mine
All alone in a mystic world of beauty undefined
Pillars of stone hang from above while water flows behind
Deep down below the crust at the center of the earth
Amazing just how light is is down here
A mountaintop beyond, the trees just above
Our path is clear, a bird engaged in love with the air
By train we stop into the village at the bottom of the stairs
A yellow sun and my destiny are yours
A tightness in my gut as the Chinese gather 'round
I am one of them, but I haven't been before
Expressions all but gone as you blankly stare at me
Our destination waits but no one knows just where
Yellow light around off my yellow skin
dusty is our cabin on this cosmic train
In response to me the woman with no chin
Answers my request: The cosmos are in proportion
My tired body slumping down as gravity takes over now
A sleeping mass is in my bed
Music rings in my head
Eternity in a dreamy world as thought I had the time
But my own thoughts and actions are not mine
