Empty Corner of the Page

from A Hand Full of Days (Vollume III) by Birch Book

lyrics

The paths are wet along the lane
I'll walk along them once again
Flashes trickle from the water
As the sund clears the sky of rain
While reading verses from a book
I take a moment to set and look
At the skyline and the spray
And the stray strands in the weave
On the empty corner of the page

While looking up out through the leaves
I see faces in the leaves
Moving jaws and blinking eyes
There changing with the sky
I trace the figures with some ink
Long enough to make them think
They're as reals as the day
And the stray strands in the weave
On the empty corner of the page

We walk again along the water
As thelight is getting softer
And as we stair out to the sea
Beyond the shore's laughter
I see you and you see me
Falling over phantoms of our history
Written in the space
Near the stray strand in the weave
On the empty corner of the page
