Mount Eerie - YOUTH lyrics
[Mount Eerie - YOUTH lyrics]
I look through the big windows
At the airport again
Far from home in 2014, disconnected and young
In my bag
A book of zen poems that I read and re-read
They all say: "don’t worry
Dreamed dust is always blowing
All this is a veil"
The veil of youth is lifting in me constantly
Far from home again while everything
Is born by my eye
Only now and this airport window
And whatever I see
The dissolving youth of things
Is shown as emptiness dressed up as spring
All million colors and everyone I’ve known
Passing through a mind and
It’s this same mind that was born
Wild and empty
Wailing in electric lights since birth
Far from home at last
And I’m still trying to let the spring emerge
From beneath every thought unknown and vast
But my youth and self assurance fill the sky
"There’s no moon, " my young mind thinks
"In a totally black night sky"
But there is a moon
At the airport again
Far from home in 2014, disconnected and young
In my bag
A book of zen poems that I read and re-read
They all say: "don’t worry
Dreamed dust is always blowing
All this is a veil"
The veil of youth is lifting in me constantly
Far from home again while everything
Is born by my eye
Only now and this airport window
And whatever I see
The dissolving youth of things
Is shown as emptiness dressed up as spring
All million colors and everyone I’ve known
Passing through a mind and
It’s this same mind that was born
Wild and empty
Wailing in electric lights since birth
Far from home at last
And I’m still trying to let the spring emerge
From beneath every thought unknown and vast
But my youth and self assurance fill the sky
"There’s no moon, " my young mind thinks
"In a totally black night sky"
But there is a moon
