I Saw You

Didn't think i'd make it to the station
I saw you in the driving rain
flashing thru the interzone at daybreak
like a sudden insight thru the brain
Subtle alteration in the prana
i thought of the sunflower rhyme
lived a thousand years of Vajrayana
for every shiver running up my spine
Images in layers and layers
I saw you thru the driving rain
wear my cloak of swirling greys... lady
and we can disappear

I closed my eyes on Fiji sand
what do you think i saw
in every grain a magic land
living outside physical law
I know you're somewhere round this rainy station
widening your inner space
reach me if you can 'cos i'm thirsty
I know you've set your sights on riding high
i came back down on a spear of silence
travelled thru the curving hell
my eyes are full of time and i'm tired
i really need to sheathe my nerves

I know you're a long distance dreamer
i saw you in the driving rain
reach me if you can 'cos i'm thirsty
I know you understand this kind of pain

Like a bird stalking the horizon
I'm calling in the driving rain
my bones might turn to sand but i'll be leaving
i don't know if you're trying to do the same
