It Was an Evening Lyrics by Mark Abel

Rainbow Songs

0

It was an evening
When a thousand fireflies lit the air
The moonlight was streaming
Across the fields
Hearts were dancing, spinning into space
You were approaching escape velocity
I was right behind you
Soon to sink earthward, resting on
The pillow of your breast
Yesterday the sun was burning
Like a beacon through a storm
We’ve been given such a short time here
Let’s fan the flames of desire
Until the statues weep
My love is carving a channel
Across your land
May it be deep and nourish you
— a haven for beautiful birds
Who trace silent arcs in the sky
Fish of many colors
Floating among the reeds
On these banks the rocks are ancient, opaque
Rounded by wind and time
We will climb up and over
Toward the glowing horizon
Which retreats with our every step
Unattainable and unknowable
Then one day a boat will carry us
Laughing to the sea
The Sea of Tranquility
Floating there we glimpse other channels
Dug by faceless forces long ago
On the Red Planet
A lantern hanging from heaven
