lyrics

Light winds closed all the windows
as good ghosts made room for another.
While pages from his brothers,
they made the daily news
The ghosts they all took cheers for him-
and in a color-gaze his eyes they opened
and he said the first words spoken
to the royal assembly.

I am a man, am I in a dream here
are these faces just my illusions
i am mad, and getting madder
what will my poor wife think of me?
And in a line each martyr each sailor, each captain
Karl Marx and the Dodgers, even old Charlie Chaplin
came to the stone piece, on which the man laid
and lowered their heads to the ground.
"My brother, my fellow-- Welcome with us",
said a man in the back, "We have much to discuss."
"You are not mad, in fact you are free.
As freedom as free-ing can be.
Take my hand if you wish I will guide you,
or say the words and we'll be gone from beside you.
There are pasts and presents inside you.
Have a good time and keep the key."
