Dancing in the Arms of the Shades a song-poem for the guitar 1 When you're feeling lonesome don't try to hide, try to let the feeling be your guide. Follow where it leads you when you're full of sighs, turn from your computer, close your eyes. Deep space dark within you that's what you'll see, breathe a little slower let the planet be. Let yourself drift over the great divide, let yourself discover the world inside. 2 Leave behind your body, travel inner space, wait until the shades emerge face after face. Can't you see your father standing at the door, you're back home in childhood playing on the floor. He looks so tired and worried from the daily grind, he still bends and hugs you deep in your mind. Can't you see your mother sitting by your bed, she still calms a nightmare deep in your head Breathe a little slower, let the planet be, open up your heartlands let the spirit free And dance, dance, dance till the vision fades, dance through inner space in the arms of the shades. 3 Breathe inside a silence, breathe into a calm, see along a passage one who did you harm. Take him by the elbow show him to the door, tell him, I forgive you, trouble me no more. Look inside a classroom back in senior school, a teacher you admire is hassling your cool. There's chalk-dust on his fingers, he's needling your pride, he's still talking to you in the school-house inside. Breathe a little slower, let the planet be, open up your heartlands, let the spirit free, And dance, dance, dance till the vision fades, dance through inner space in the arms of the shades. 4 Can't you see within you a white-robed nun, mothering an orphan in a crowded slum. Can't you see the prophets flashing their eyes, angered by the carbon choking the skies. Can't you feel within you the love of a friend, there to walk beside you right to the end. Let his love transform you, tell him your pain, let his love redeem you deep in your brain. Breathe a little slower, et the planet be, open up your heartlands let the spirit free, And dance, dance, dance till the vision fades, dance through inner space in the arms of the shades.
Dancing in the Arms of the Shades: a song-poem for the guitar.
