Cave Song

©1990 Andrew Calhoun, unrecorded

For you, my love
I walk through a bad dream
Wide awake
I leap the black stream

For you, my love
I cancel the old plan
Go drift on the lake
In the arms of the bone man

Your mind's a sunbeam
Into a rat's maze
Turn me aside
To sleep where the sheep graze

And let me dream easy
And waters control me
Till devils flow from me
Into the stream

Wily woman
Keep stepping backward
Out of this cave
Keep me stumbling onward

I have your ring right here
I bought it from the maker
Where we reach the light
And turn together
