Hammill
Day dawns dark it now numbers infinity
Life crawls from the past watching in wonder
I trace its patterns in me
Tomorrows tomorrow is birth again
Boats burn the bridge in the fens
The time of the past returns to my life
And uses it
Dont blame me for the letters that may form in the sand
Dont look in my eyes you may see all the numbers
That stretch in my sky and colour my hand
Dont say that Im wrong in imagining
That the voice of my life cannot sing
Fate enters and talks in old words
They amuse it
The hands shine darkly and white only in dark they appear
Bless the baby born today
Flying in pitch flying on fear
They shine in my eyes and touch my face
Where I have seen them placed before
Dont blame me please for the fate that falls
I did not choose it
I did not no no I did not
I truly did not choose it
