David Sylvian, "Brilliant Trees"
When you come to me
I'll question myself again
Is this grip on life still my own?
When every step I take
Leads me so far away
Every thought should bring me closer home
There you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know
My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil
Every plan I've made's
Lost in the scheme of things
Within each lesson lies the price to learn
A reason to believe
Divorces itself from me
Every hope I hold lies in my arms
There you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know
My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil
I might be exaggerating a little, but... has anyone ever created such a beautiful, awesome, moving poem in song?...
Well, I'm exaggerating, of course. Still, this is another all-time favourite. Forever.
