    canon

    daylight savings never come
    or it’ll melt the horizon
    i watch its indiscrete movements
    almost as if i could see through.
    whichever which way you are
    whichever way you’d be
    under no obstacle law.

    who insures you when gravity’s not aground?
    i move closer to let the rain drops roll off my face-
    they keep me howlin’.

    whether or not i’m careless who would know
    whether or not i could reach you at all.
    i wonder which way you’ve gone
    i wonder where you’d be
    if my love was beating boldly
    so shockwaves sent – tell you it’s the real thing.

    are your green lights on yet?

    i’ll point my canon to you.
    won’t be forewarning needed
    i’ll point my canon to you-
    hello…

    who’ll lead you where the river overflows
    and tuck you in gently to bed before the combatting?

    i’m pleased that you enjoy it.
    it was a great joy to record with those musicians.
    as of yet, the only place it has been uploaded to is where you found it- and not on an album (yet).
    thanks for your message, it is appreciated.

    The president (Ahmadinejad) also drew widespread criticism by abolishing daylight saving after he took power on the grounds that the measure, which had been in force for 16 years, went against the teachings of Islam.
