Song VIII Lyrics by Gavin Bryars

Adnan Songbook

1996

My hand on your hand
Both
In the hollow of
A tree
One sky chasing another
Sky
Both
Devouring atoms
And
Going to the moon
Green is the color of
Space
Two lips tasting mushrooms
And the Colorado River
Haunting
The village…
From the persistent Mediterranean
To the persistent
Pacific
We cut roads with our feet
Share baggage and
Food
Running always one second
Ahead of the running of
Time
We are travelling at some
Infinite speed
We are not scared
