From the recording 6. Nothing Seems Like What It Seems
Another "mystical" folk-rock song, inspired when living in a tent while building a geodesic dome in the woods.

NOTHING SEEMS LIKE WHAT IT SEEMS

Asleep, awakened, high above,
the many few below.
Alone, together, are the stars,
too blind now to behold.
All naked, we are covered,
by the hopes we dare not hold.
Remember, we’ve forgotten us,
too deaf now to be told.
The inside out of everyone,
is silence in a sound.
Forgotten, we’ve remembered us,
too drunk now, to be drowned.
The shadows float above our heads,
cast light upon the ground.
Below the dark has won its fight.
Too lost now, to be found.
Oh, up is down. Straight is round.
Wide awake’s a narrow beam.
Nothing seems like what it seems,
Until you’re home with me.
The young look old and fire feels cold,
The nights are rather mean.
Nothing seems like what it seems,
Until you’re home with me.
Oh, A is Z. There’s a missing key,
and water never cleans.
Nothing seems like what it seems,
Until you’re home with me.
I feel your lovin’ in my dreams,
awake I cannot be.
Nothing seems like what it seems,
Until you’re home with me.
Nothing seems like what it seems,
Until you’re home,
with me.
