about

Written by Jane Gowan

lyrics

Fixing for adventure I wander out of doors
into territories where I’ve never been before

I mirror what i’m given by the miracle of sight
and immortalize the minutes in black and white

The faces tell the stories, I barely do a thing
a simple conversation is Shakespearian

I am but a shadow when I focus in and snap
at sunlight in the smoke of cigarettes

I could have been a mariner or troubadour
the leader of an expedition way up north
I toyed with the idea of outer space
and how without gravity, I might stay in place

I fall into a pattern, my feet in sturdy shoes
I’m pulled into the flow of the multitudes

A happy child reaches both arms in the air
Then just around the corner is a different kind of theatre

There’s poetry concealed in every moving gaze
in any interaction there is nothing commonplace

There’s sentimental value In the passing of a cup
in forests made of trees that are barely standing up.

I could have been a mariner or troubadour
the leader of an expedition way up north
I toyed with the idea of outer space
and how, without gravity, I might stay in place
