A Wake for the Minotaur Lyrics
A glorious light
A ladder along the clouds
A spire in the sun
A shout in the street below
I climb down a wide road
Into a dark mouth
Papered in dusk
A river below the lake
I ride in the flood
A dog with the chain removed
Till the morning arrives
Till my memory lies clear
As a tear in the darkness
A hole in the light
And I know where you are
I ride in the blood
I ride on the warming rails
Through canyons of sunlight
And wires across the road
I could have loved you enough
If I fell in the right way
Through a tear in the darkness
A hole in the light
I'll breathe in the silence
I'll live till I die
A ladder along the clouds
A spire in the sun
A shout in the street below
I climb down a wide road
Into a dark mouth
A river below the lake
I ride in the flood
A dog with the chain removed
Till the morning arrives
Till my memory lies clear
As a tear in the darkness
A hole in the light
And I know where you are
I ride on the warming rails
Through canyons of sunlight
And wires across the road
I could have loved you enough
If I fell in the right way
Through a tear in the darkness
A hole in the light
I'll breathe in the silence
I'll live till I die

"It's a song that I wrote about, actually about touring life, and how frickin' weird it is. You feel like the people you're traveling with, you know it's, they become like the only other real people in the world to you, because everyone else just flies away. And it has a way of making the world seem as impermanent as it, I guess it actually is, so this is a song about the fleeting joys of that." Jonathan Meiburg (A Wake for the Minotaur performed live in Zürich 09.05.14, Catfish 1971 on Youtube)
