Chris James - The Force (Song for Dylan)

The force through the green fuse
Drives the flower
Drives my green age
Is my destroyer.
The force through the rocks that
Drives the water
Drives my red blood;
Turns into wax

And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins
And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins

The hand in the pool that
Whirls the water
Stirs the quicksand
My shroud for sail.
The lips of time that leech
Leech to the fountain
Fallen blood
Shall calm her sores

And I am dumb to tell the hanging man
And I am dumb to tell the hanging man
And I am dumb to tell a weather’s wind
And I am dumb to tell a weather’s wind

How time has ticked a heaven round the stars.
How time has ticked a heaven round the stars.

And I am dumb to tell the lover’s tomb
And I am dumb to tell the lover’s tomb

How time has ticked a heaven round the stars.
How time has ticked a heaven round the stars.

And I am dumb to tell the lover’s tomb
And I am dumb to tell the lover’s tomb
