about

This song is a revisioning of an earlier song I recorded in 2000 (Too Near The Ghosts) based on the poem "It Struck Me" by Emily Dickinson.

lyrics

It struck me every day
The lightning was as new
As if the clouds that instant slit
And let the fire through

It burned me in the night
It blistered my dreams
It sickened fresh upon my sight
With every morning's beam

I though that storm was brief
The maddest, quickest by
But nature lost the date of this
And left it in the sky
