Eyelids - Peter Adams

Sleep in the cold my dear sons And work in the hellish days One of these years I will be gone But the tower will live forever Ziggurat Ziggurat Ziggurat all min

I woke with planets in my face And ah Creatures of the coldest space I found the curtain in the sky And went through to see what I could find I'm lost and gone

Throw me out the window Throw me out again Throw me out so I can meet the wind All their names remember All their names I knew Out of all them I remember you In

Turn the lighthouse on for me We sail tonight upon an empty sea Into the mist and the wind go leave To leave behind this life of luxury On the beach out and on

I have watched you all these years Said the moon to me But when you are gone for good I will still be here On the other On the other side On the other side Fast
