Lyrics

Raincoat and galoshes on
Clock ticks but the hands don't move
Waiting for the bomb to drop
I stoke the fire and recall a tune

The chorus wrapped its coils around
My head, a snake with tale untold
Swallowing my memories and knowledge
That I had before

Clockwise, counterclockwise
Small movements, invisible eye
Wind sparks embers
Wind sparks embers
Wind sparks embers
Embers, embers

Just below the scattering clouds
Vultures circle buzzing bills
Meanwhile I'm on the ground
Spinning yet remaining still

At that time the rhyme arrived
Swooping down and opened wide
It took me in its beak and then
It all went dark now here I am

Clockwise, counterclockwise
Unpenned verses invisible eye
Wind sparks embers
Wind sparks embers
Wind sparks embers
Embers, embers

When am I
When am I
When am I coastal clear
When am I just a matter of time
When am I water meets the land
When am I clockwise
When am I counterclockwise
When am I wind sparks embers
