Heliac

Oh, you greet me with your soul-defrosting smile at the sunrise
The glare is such that I can barely turn my eyes on you
And you would lead me into all your bright and endless futures
Though I'm compelled and haunted by my trusty point of view

The dim abstractions in my mind
Are less convincing all the time
The day is slowly burning out
The light is trickling homeward now
I smolder with the dying stars
I want to know their tired hearts

To trip the light fantastic at the bottom of the ocean
To turn away from hoping in my hopeless sanity
I do not want to love them in a scientific fashion
But come down with the madness that caused you to care for me

I see you give your light away
But you seem brighter every day
I think that you have got it bad
By love consumed, completely mad
I'm just as well as I can be
Oh, get your germs all over me
