What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Your love
2
swells and pounds me.
3
I know nothing (now that I know you).
4
My face goes blank
5
My eyes go open gates
6
and the world can go (in them).
7
it can make us wealthy
8
and take away
9
so
10
I hold nothing (now that I hold you).
11
There's no place to spend our money where we live.
12
The generous world suggests we live generously
13
so we lay
14
under low wide branches
15
of the oldest tree on the dune,
16
or in the hay,
17
where we will stay for so long without moving
18
that the careful birds finally relax
19
and make black nests in your black hair
20
and find ants walking around my unmoving feet
21
and we will only notice this play of the world
22
(that long moss is growing on us)
23
(that that wind has rewritten us)
24
(the give and take not stopping ever)
25
for only a moment
26
and then, having breifly noticed,
27
let the world roll on, doing this,
28
through open gates.
29
In a generous way:
30
I give long walks to the dogs.
31
I put commas and periods in song.
32
I give closed eye to the day.
33
I give peace to the long decay.
34
()we do not need to fear dying)
