Elysian Fields Follow

on a high cliff
above the sound
a table was set
beneath the firmament shroud
a rare invitation
blew in from the east
on an island once sacred
to both native and beast
we sucked and we savored
all that we tasted
wine flowing like water
not a drop of it wasted
the evening unfolded
like a great fan
i found myself drifting
down to the sand
down to the sand
what came over me
over me over me
like some alien force
that took hold of me
i wasn’t myself
but i started dancing
lost in this song
under a trance and
i felt myself falling under a spell
i knew very well
i might never return
to the land of the living
and then i was giving myself
to the light
and then i took flight
i shot up like a kite
it was my last night on earth
my last night on earth
my last night on earth
if you find this bottle
bobbing its head
smash it to pieces
be sure that it’s read
i have departed
say my goodbyes
i loved you more than
you ever realized
i loved you more than
you ever realized
what came over me
over me over me
like some alien force
that took hold of me
i wasn’t myself
but i started dancing
lost in this song
under a trance and
i felt myself falling under a spell
i knew very well
i might never return
to the land of the living
and then i was giving myself
to the light
and then i took flight
i shot up like a kite
it was my last night on earth
my last night on earth
my last night on earth
my last night on earth
