When your orbit swung in close And words became knots When they broke loose in a flood I was with you then I am with you now When the pack escaped From that deep place The horizon a blur Of colour and fur And legs moved on Carried on beyond The bridges reached Under ceilings so low you had to crawl I was with you then I am with you now Refracted light Glance from your cuts From your better sides Your orbit swung out wide Before it returned And daylight congealed Dances danced Hands won and lost I was with you then I am with you now When the nets came in And the map was changed And the targets moved And the language lost I was with you then I am with you now I was with you then I am with you now
