Song for Mathias

Running before me
never a straight line
don't hold it against me
I tried to get there on time

over the mountain
a slope to the sea
behind cries & the shouting
help is following me

heaven is lonely
hell is the place to be
star of truth rises slowly
but who will look down & see

over the mountain
a slope to the sea
behind cries & the shouting
help is following me

following me

(interlude in the night-time wood)

before & behind me
I watch their torches shine
if I move on them slowly
the only hands burnt are mine

over the mountain
a slope to the sea
cries & the shouting
help is following me

following me

Work emanates from a wooden shed in mid-Wales, serenaded by owls & robin-song.
