The Green Pajamas

This Is Where We Disappear


Her eyes flicker, whisper light
In some dark part of the night
On some hour never named
Some dimension never claimed
She speaks so softly that her lips don't even move

It is moving very near
It's becoming very clear
This is where we disappear

Now the day is very still
Like a cat before a kill
She is charging up the air
Through her bones and through her hair
Phantoms swarm about the storm that's gathering warm and rare

It is moving very near
It's becoming very clear
This is where we disappear

"We've got to get you out of here"
I heard her say one April day
"Trust in me, don't ever fear, I know the way, it'll be OK
We've got to get you out of here"
She whispered soft and clear to me 
In a voice so strange and queer to me

Now be still my goblin heart
It is time that we depart
Friends and skeptics line the shore
But they don't see us anymore
She speaks to me in poetry and smiles, "you'll feel the wave"

It is moving very near
It's becoming very clear
This is where we disappear

Where we disappear
