Argument Lyrics by Elliott Carter

A Mirror on Which to Dwell

0

Days that cannot bring you near
Or will not
Distance trying to appear
Something more obstinate
Argue argue argue with me
Endlessly
Neither proving you less wanted nor less dear

Distance: Remember all that land
Beneath the plane;
That coastline
Of dim beaches deep in sand
Stretching indistinguishably
All the way
All the way to where my reasons end?

Days: And think
Of all those cluttered instruments
One to a fact
Canceling each other's experience;
How they were
Like some hideous calendar
"Compliments of Never & Forever, Inc."

The intimidating sound
Of these voices
We must separately find
Can and shall be vanquished:
Days and Distance disarrayed again
And gone...
