Dreams and Ecstasies

from The New West by Bill White

/

lyrics

trusting in the frail bark of my bones
i set sail into the storms
of dreams and ecstasies
of dreams and ecstasies

oh what a frightening gale did arise
of love and death and birth
then in the calm of morning
i had lost all sight of earth
i had lost all sight of earth

your breasts have never been so rounded
your lips were never so pale
as when you took apollos hand
and slipped down the stairs to hell
down the stairs into hell

if dante could follow beatrice
this far and no further
what chance had i to stay with you
though forests of lust and murder
through forests of lust and murder

yet i i never left my boat
made of the frail bark of flesh
as i sailed through the endless storms
of dreams and ecstasies
of dreams and ecstasies

i met my rival in a dream
i could have killed him for sure
but ther ewas no need
when i awoke
he was neither here nor there

how close to ecstasy ive been
in loves inviting dream
but i never made the final movie
if i had,where would i now be
where would i now be

she was only the mirror
of the unconquerable she
