Spinning Away Lyrics
Up on a hill, as the day dissolvesWith my pencil turning moments into lineHigh above in the violet skyA silent silver plane - it draws a golden chainOne by one, all the stars appearAs the great winds of the planet spiral inSpinning away, like the night sky at ArlesIn the million insect storm, the constellations formOn a hill, under a raven skyI have no idea exactly what I've drawnSome kind of change, some kind of spinning awayWith every single line moving further out in timeAnd now as the pale moon rides (in the stars)Her form in my pale blue lines (in the stars)And there, as the world rolls round (in the stars)I draw, but the lines move round (in the stars)There, as the great wheels blaze (in the stars)I draw, but my drawing fades (in the stars)And now, as the old sun dies (in the stars)I draw, and the four winds sigh (in the stars)
