Svetlana sucks lemons across from me And I am progressing abominably And I do not know my own way to the sea But the saltiest sea knows its own way to me
And the city that turns, turns protracted and slow And I find myself toeing the embarcadero And I find myself knowing the things that I knew Which is all that you can know on this side of the blue
And Jaime has eyes black and shiny as boots And they march at you, two-by-two, re-loo re-loo When she looks at you, you know she's nowhere near through It's the hardest heart beating this side of the blue
And the signifieds butt heads with the signifiers And we all fall down slack-jawed to marvel at words While across the sky sheet the impossible birds In a steady, illiterate movement homewards
And Gabriel stands beneath forest and moon See them rattle and boo, see them shake, see them loom See him fashion a cap from a page of Camus See him navigate deftly this side of the blue
And the rest of our lives will the moments accrue When the shape of their goneness will flare up anew And we do what we have to do, re-loo re-loo Which is all you can do on this side of the blue Oh it's all that you can do on this side of the blue
