lyrics

Once, I looked out on the ocean
It was pushing the horizon
And eating up the skyline
Once, I looked into a mirror
It was turning up the corners
Of my lips into a smile

If you look a little closer
You’ll notice it’s familiar
It winks at you in many little ways
If you dig a little deeper
The fragments of illusion
Will get under your fingernails

They went sifting through my hands
The hourglass sands
On a distant beach
I thought my grip was firm
That I held it in my palm
But I woke and the dream was gone

If you look a little closer
You’ll notice it’s familiar
It winks at you in many little ways
If you dig a little deeper
The fragments of illusion
Will get under your fingernails

If you find the house in the woods
With the smoke in the chimney and the water in the brook
If you find the land of milk and honey…and money
Won’t you let me know
Forest floor, soft underfoot
Subtle art, seldom understood
No one knows the secrets that you keep
Tucked away under the pillow where you sleep

Look a little closer
You’ll notice it’s familiar
It winks at you in many little ways
If you dig a little deeper
The fragments of illusion
Will get under your fingernails

AMBROSE Montreal, Québec

I know that I am mortal by nature, and ephemeral; but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies I no longer touch the earth with my feet.
