Welcome to Sun State
The language of light
The energies impulse
The loud, dark, iron
The purpose of history
In Eurasian Steppes
From threshold to threshold
Astonishment
Youve misunderstood the place where you stand
God Man
From different maps
Dead bees on a cake
Youre sweeping the forest
Man, its getting late
The milkweed is growing
Through cotton grass
You borrowed the car
But you didnt ask
Youve misunderstood the place where you stand
God Man
(And everythings dark
Then youre wrapped up
Born into brightness)
You've misunderstood the place where you stand
Help me
I feel like Im weightless
Floating right out of your hands
And theres only so much I aspire to
Taking one day at a time
And deliverance has many faces
But grace is an acquaintance of mine
Tell me how could it have happened ?
You know that were not the marrying kind
Travel light, dont think twice
Were leaving the shadows behind
Its given us this wonderful wanderlust
I dont doubt it, I feel it
Wonderful wanderlust
Help me
This waterboys wasted
Falling right out of your sky
And theres nothing I could do without here
Loving the state that Im in
Between no longer and not yet
On the treshold of some brighter thing
The match was struck and I was fire
The embers of a drowning man
Tell me why wont I listen
Or acknowledge that I dont understand ?
Losing light, the selfish kind
And were out on the road again
Its given us this wonderful wanderlust
I dont doubt it, I feel it
Turn the headlights on full
I want to take in it all
Let it wash over me
The bridge looked so high
From the banks that we climbed
But we climbed them so that we could be free
Give me no dreams of what the future brings
I need to know when I have gone too far
Repeated lightning strikes
Up and down the spine
They search us out wherever we are
In a world full of lies
That tug at the truth
Im taking no sides
Now I recognise you
Its given us this wonderful wanderlust
"Godman" and "Wanderlust"
Lyrics, David Sylvian
This little excerpt from Wanderlust holds particular resonance for me:
Between no longer and not yet
On the threshold of some brighter thing
I hope you had a good weekend.
