about

Written in Sinop, Turkey in early 1990, recorded on a Fostex X15 four-track in South Berwick, Maine, late 1990.

lyrics

********************************
"It's always the same thing; there's nothing to do."
You say, but that can't be true, yes, I'm talking to you.
And you ask me "Do you know what kind of day I've been through?"
You think the sky has turned black but I still think that it's blue.

And I don't know why you've become so preoccupied
With death and with life you seem so unsatisfied.
You look at a hearse and dream you're riding inside
In a sarcophagus; you're already mummified.

It's been many a year since I've seen you smile.
I saw a picture of you, a mosaic of tile
In a room in a tomb along the banks of the Nile
And I sussed from the dust you must have been there a while.

(1990 Nimyonta Music)
