Interim Sleep Lyrics by Jethro Tull

Curious Ruminant

0

When interim sleep takes me
\nI want you close beside
\nNo tears, no sad goodbye
\nI am calm and still as a fallen autumn leaf
\n
\nWhen that interim sleep takes me
\nI will pass first into a room next door
\nNot far away, nor lost to finer senses
\nNot gone forever, nor to be forgotten
\n
\nAnd when your turn comes at last
\nTo close those waking eyes
\nPass willing to the room next door
\nSeeking no blameless redemption
\nWalk to that open window, open to the stars
\n
\nLook out down the winding river valley
\nWhere lights sparkle, marking stations
\nStations where trains start and stop
\nOn the separate journeys of our many lives
\n
\nHigh above the nearest empty station
\nFlies a solitary bird, faint in the higher distance
\nCircling, soaring in the infinite blue
\nReach up to that bird to find me waiting
\nOn firm, welcoming, feathered wings
\n
\nTogether we will circle in that infinite blue
\nGlide down past stately barges to the next twinkling station
\nBuy tickets, stow useless excess baggage
\nTo board the onward train, another journey\n\n
