I sit reading Wright
The jetty shines white
As black surrounds,
Clouds roll in on a connecting flight
Sun burns through the cold
Darkness of the dirt
Down the path to war
But you can go on sipping your wine
You can go on
You can go on
You can go on
You can go on
You can go on
You can go on
You can go on
Words do so little
Rhythm does so much
Don’t cling to the spirit
Just keep a graceful touch
Does so much
Graceful touch
Does so much
Wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
Don’t cling to anything other than love
Don’t cling to the spirit without two feet
Touching the ground, embracing defeat
Ask for forgiveness; more better than less
When you’re feeling fettered, forget all the rest
Words do so little, rhythm does so much
Don’t cling to the spirit, just keep a graceful touch
