Lyrics

I was doing something I don't remember what I was standing in a place I don't remember where I was waiting for someone But I don't remember who It was before or it was after I don't remember when Then suddenly or gradually I was removed. I was taken To this place of reversal And I was separated And in the place of every part There was the name of fear And for a vast memorial There was the name of grief If you know the prayer For one who has been so dislocated Please say it or sing it And if there is among the words An empty space or among the letters An orchard of return Please say my name firmly there With a voice or hand Which only you command You righteous ones Who are concerned with such matters But hurry please For all the parts of me That gathered briefly around this plea Are dispersed again And scattered on the other side Where the angels stand upside down And everything is covered with dust And everyone burns with shame And no one is allowed to cry out
