Lyrics

You know it’s funny
That we should meet again
Beneath a Scorpio Moon
How are the mountains?
I wish that I could tell you
That I’ll find you there soon
But there’s a distance
To go before I travel
In the usual way
So in the meantime
I wanted you to know
I’m just a journey away

She is our companion at the gate
There she waits

There in the shadows
Where you and me make sense
Of how the universe flows
Pass through the mirror
Of counter-intuition
Where our consciousness goes
To find the questions
That needed to be asked
Before we knew what they were
These are the secrets
Of why we understand
When others feel so unsure

She is our companion at the gate
There she waits

I hear the crows call
A warning of a junction
That we cannot perceive
I watch the snow fly
Sideways past the window
Scraping bent tulip leaves
I take a photo
Of heavy heads of sunflowers
In the bright April sun
It’s like the fabric
Of what weaves time and space together
Can be undone

She is our companion at the gate
There she waits
