lyrics

Tin roof, a whinin' wind
Placard with the smoker's grin
Rustle of the palm fronds
All along, all along

Overturned the blue canoe
Weather is a memory
Against the stone meal is ground
Sizzling fat, dry blood brown

Round about the vendors cry
Chicken, pork, a yellow sky
Waves above the road stone wall
Running tune that is the Fall

Night ends like this, a dream of soup stirring
Night ends like this, not with souls burning
Night ends like this

The great weakness was the silence in the face of the lie
The powerful are as glorious as the fruit that lies under the tree

Market stall the beans laid out
Thirsty seeds for this amount
Umber fingers sweating count
All along, all along

Severed joints, bone pile scrap
Swarming flies, a thunderclap
Dust will rise before the rain
Wooden room in standing cane

To know the world beyond these fields
Heat and shade, another stripe
Conch shell pink and gold and white
Singing still of tropic light

Night ends like this, a dream of soup stirring
Night ends like this, not with souls burning
Night ends like this

The great stillness bids them linger by the turn in the lane
The powerless are as numerous as the pools left by the storm
