Song: Agapanthus

The fan bends,
The boy kneels,
The bows contend,
The sky yields

We are gone
     Like dandelion down
To the whither-world found

Whiteness comes
     From all around
To the painting on the ground

Nothing is making the world turn round,
Nothing is drawing a sound 

So we come and go
With the flow,
Blow away

The road ends,
The car reels,
We all pretend
We've made deals

To the one
     We've never really known
From the polo ground home

Changes come
Through yellow phones
On tapestries of foam

Nothing is making the world turn round,
Nothing is drawing a sound 

So we come and go
With the flow,
Blow away

We are together all the way,
Wanting the other to say,
Everything that isn't there,
All we wouldn't dare

The palms mend,
The trees feel,
Doves befriend 
The unreal,

Call the sun
     In the hummingbird song,
Agapanthus sings along

Gardens come
     From distant lands,
Lift flowers to our hands

Nothing is making the world turn round,
Nothing is drawing a sound 

So we come and go
With the flow,
Blow away
