Farewell to a Percival
Simon Joyner

So you planned to chip away at troublenbut it left you standing in the rubblenNow your tears are trapped in crystal puddlesnwith a stone portrait of your doublennAnd if you begged me to remain aroundnwould grief keep tearing at your gownnAll the sadness waltzing around your frownnWell, it's bound to bring some ceilings downnnNow there ain't no reason my heart will hearnso you can shed the pickax and climbing gearnbut please don't stand and watch my back disappearnas I fade into the mountains therennWhose to say the sky is meannif it stands between you and your kingdom?nThey say some things are meant to be seennand some things are meant to be kept hiddennnAll those saints who feed on virtue are ruthlessnsaying you need a deed to be so virtuousnAnd guilt is vainly plainly discouragednas we kow-tow to their couragennBut I saw the glorious white arch fallnand the great soldier children were crushed and allnthe townspeople looked and saw their shadowsnand then had to stay inside and drain their pillowsnnThen I had a dream seven nights in a rownyou were following me through all these doomed places I gonWell I knew I was weak but I guess I didn't knownI was in need of a guardian angelnnWhose to say the sky is meannif it stands between you and your kingdom?nThey say some things are meant to be seennand some things are meant to be kept hiddennnThe river I follow has turned so smallnI can't hardly swallow any strength at allnAnd the pale fish rotting in its muddy wallsnI know they lost their eyes before they stallednnSo I search and I yearn and I barely breathenand the person who once knew you is no longer menWith my torn yellow map and my dry canteennI can't stop to count my blessingsnnOr the curved lines of longitudenI burned as if they were fusesnto pass the mirage and land the oasisnwhere I'm going to fill up all these empty spacesnnWhose to say the sky is meannif it stands between you and your kingdom?nThey say some things are meant to be seennand some things are meant to be kept hiddennnTo pass the mirage and land the oasisnwhere I'm going to fill up all these empty spacesnand free myself of these earthly racesnI'll send you my thirst first and then the lacesnof my shoes
