From the recording Plug Into The Real - 2003

Mysterious lyrics, no? Kinda goes with the exotic Eastern atmosphere of the music, I think.

LOTS of little details buried in this song. It took me forever to add everything and mix it all down. I especially like the complexity of the middle section and then the 'infinite' vocal echo which extends through the instrumental section.

According to the Bible, by the way, Enoch never died...

Inspiration: Andy Partridge / XTC

Lyrics

And we walked
And we talked
And the sky grew orange
With the dying of the day

We spoke of love
We spoke of peace
And shadows grew longer
With each and every passing word

I grew quiet
And I grew tired
I longed for home but my Friend
only turned around and smiled

You will be, you will be safer
Safer than baby in mother's womb
You will fly higher than clutching man
And his achingly mortal tomb
You will not tire for my rest will lift
All your weight right into the clouds
You will see, you will see My face
And mercy fire burn bright and loud

"My Friend", I asked
"When will I sleep?"
He said "we've walked so long, why
don't you just come right on home with me?"
