In an Escher town In the Palace - Gallen, hidden low And the peaks stay Saint And the streets wind up and down below To the balcony Where the hands embrace amidst the rows And the flickering screen And the smell of almonds in the grove
Don’t leave Don’t leave Don’t leave
To come so close to offer this Won’t leave — don’t leave
And the screen says, “stay”, every time The image it plays in my mind And we say Grace Every time we’re in this place
Is it mine in the mirror? Is it mine or the mirror, we make?
Where we haven’t run Deep into the rows Where the olives grow Lost in the unknown Until, lost is all we know And the pollen silt Til we’re tracing in the snow And down into the screen Says “stay”, every time. The image plays in my mind And we say Grace Every time we’re face-to-face
Is it mine in the mirror Is it mine or the mirror we make.
Take all the time it takes To make all the time it takes It takes all the time it takes To make all the time, it takes
Don’t leave Don’t leave Don’t leave
