about
I think I heard Allen Watts say that priests and priestesses from various religious traditions immediately tend to argue with each other about words and definitions, while their monks and nuns can quietly garden, meditate and sit together for years. This song asks us to sense beyond verbal language so we can enjoy each other.
lyrics
these words are fooling us
me with their writing
you with their reading
let us do away with them
and look into each other more easily
it seems like you’re over there
and i’m over here
but surely we are together
we can discover this
over and over
we forget and remember
where do we travel to
in between our words
is that the place where we are
the most together
where do we travel to
in between our thoughts
where we will be most likely
to find each other
you took a drink of me
you couldn’t speak
and then I could see you
I was so thirsty
to understand you
to be understood too
it’s hard to give up words
to trust the silent space we find here
would you remind me
if you find me lost in my fear
me with their writing
you with their reading
let us do away with them
and look into each other more easily
it seems like you’re over there
and i’m over here
but surely we are together
we can discover this
over and over
we forget and remember
where do we travel to
in between our words
is that the place where we are
the most together
where do we travel to
in between our thoughts
where we will be most likely
to find each other
you took a drink of me
you couldn’t speak
and then I could see you
I was so thirsty
to understand you
to be understood too
it’s hard to give up words
to trust the silent space we find here
would you remind me
if you find me lost in my fear
