I'll walk with you
Through space and time
And when sleep is near
I will fold you in
I'll disappear with you
In clear blue flames
And when our time arrives
We will slide through space

And when sleep is near
I will fold you in
I'll disappear with you
In clear blue flames
And when our time arrives
We will slide through space

Gorgeous love song from Michael to Jarboe.
How do you know it's a song between them?

@JXSZSMS - Gira & Jarboe were a couple during this period; pretty much from Time is Money (85-ish), their breakup coincided with Gira disbanding Swans.

I knew I'd find this link eventually: http://swans.pair.com/PRESS/int_sec.html, 6th answer Gira gives from the bottom where he mentions Her is a 'homage to Jarboe'.

He mentions this song near the end of the interview, with You See Through me. Whole interview is well worth reading.

From a 1996 interview with SlowThrills:
Q: “Have you always had a fascination for tape loops and found sound? I remember on ‘Love of Life’ there was this teenage girl talking about forming a band.”
A: “That’s Jarboe! We found that from the same source where we got some of these tapes. Her father was an FBI agent and he was in the habit of tapping phones, and his family home was constantly monitored because his informants would be calling in occasionally, and whether as by-product or intent, he recorded Jarboe’s girlhood conversations with her friends and she found them all in his desk after he died.”
