i'm bound by the fire

i'm bound by the beauty

i'm bound by desire

i'm bound by the duty

i'm coming back in 500 years

and the first thing i'm gonna do

when i get back here is to see

these things that i love

and they'd better be herer



first i'm going to find a forest

and stand there in the trees

and kiss the fragrant forest floor

and lie down in the leaves

and listen to the birds sing

the sweetest sound you'll ever hear



and everything the dappled

everything the birds

everything the earthness

everything the verdant

the verdant green



i'm bound by the fire...

then i'm going to find an open field

and lie down in the flowers

and then i'm going to find a guitar

and play play for hours

and them i'm going to find a river

to see what kind of body in



and everthing the granite

everything the kiss

everything the earthness

everything the verdant

the verdant dream



i'm bound by the beauty

i'm bound by desire

i'm bound to keep returning

i'm boundf by the beauty of the light

the slightest change the constant rearrange of light upon the land

i'm bound by the beauty of the wind that blows across the earth

the unfetteredness the wheatness and through flying hair

the slowness of the falling leaves across this warm november door

and the geese the flying southness the arms out evermore

i'm bound by the soft the fallingness

the everupward face...

the everupward face...

bound by the sunsets the rivers the music the beauty...
