Sundial Lyrics by Illyah Kuryahkin

Count No Count

1996

[Verse 1]
Frayed sullen smile
On a frozen causeway
With a broken bunch of
Pearls like orphan eyes
Like an insect watching
For the wetness to escape
Some living thing
On the concrete sideways
On the backward highways
Like a breathing sundial
[Pre-Chorus]
A crowd perspires
[Verse 2]
Unblinking stone
Softer when it's manmade
In some eyes a pearl
Is still a precious pearl
Strummed around your soft neck
By the hand that keeps you
Far from fathomless
And the open flame sung
Through the rain and warm wet
Green shadow's lining
[Chorus]
The crowd admires
When a wave comes
Foaming at your fingers
And someone calls your name
And it starts all over
It starts all over now
[Verse 3]
Even when the breezes
Carry dandelions
In the summer when the air
Stops slowing down
And the southern silver
Unmemorized escapes
Some shining thing
And it's like you were there
And your place is nearer
To the lightening skyline
[Chorus]
A crowd inspires
When a wave comes
Curling over
When a wave comes
Turning over
When a wave comes
Kissing all your fingers
And someone calls your name
And it must be over
It must be over now
[Outro]
Even when the branches
Carry pomegranates
And the summer air is
Full of fireflies
