By Degrees

Anu

The mysterious finale.

And so the story goes
And so the story goes on
You only miss it by degrees
You always miss it, it seems

All this, and heaven too
The sky beyond the Salton Sea
So green
One cloud imagination
Those swollen pockets weren’t so deep
So deep

The imitation of life
The details of living
The imitation of life
The details of living

Like an invisible man
Like the invisible hand
They’ve even got you when you sleep
They’ve even got you, too

Would you mind if I remain connected for some time?
I’m thinking
In the way ahead
About the mountains of the future

The s____s of humility…
