timeless comfort

came across this song again while i was browsing online... this is one of my favorite songs. reminds me of the summer during our junior year in college, when we had to stay at the laboratory for weeks finishing our fieldwork analysis and reports. in the mornings and late nights while everybody's awake and busy doing their assigned chores, this song was always played. i remembered hearing this song while asleep and in the early minutes of waking up... those where the days and the song of cynthia alexander now seems so timeless to me...


Comfort in Your Strangeness
by Cynthia Alexander


Woke up this morning
I was staring at the ceiling
Cracks and roadmaps and highways and landscapes
I have seen
I have been
To places far and deep in my mind
Only to find
Comfort in Your Strangeness

Of moving shadowss
When I call the wind by name
Rushing Firewater in the dark of a cloud
I have seen
I have been
To places far and deep in my mind
Only to findComfort in Your Strangeness

We are slaves to the crimes we commit
In fits of passion we shame
We are nothing
We are nothing
We are nothing
We are nothing but

The dust on Your feet
Dying to be born again
Singing Ether Water Fire singing Earth Singing Air
I have seenI have been
To places far and deep in my mind
Only to find
Comfort in Your Strangeness

I have seen
I have been
To places far and deep in my mind
Only to find
Comfort in Your Strangeness
