lyrics

Bardo living’s a weird existence.
Passing through one door to head for the next.
Never taking anything tangible with you,
Not even the script of a life in plain text.

My body - your body, we don’t own them.
Their atoms are borrowed, in use of the soul.
And the soul’s just a fragment, a piece of creation,
A laugh of the dancer, tired of being whole.

Form to soul and soul to form.
Here in this moment there’s a you and a me.
Your soul to my soul under the sky.
Let’s go out walking down by the sea.

Your son and my daughter
Are beyond our controlling.
Their birth borrowed atoms
To make their soul’s home.
Just loaned from the cosmos for moments,
Clothing the spirit, till it dissolves like foam.

Form to soul and soul to form.
Here in this moment there’s a you and a me.
Your soul to my soul under the sky.
Let’s go out walking down by the sea.

The laughs of the dancer are fragments of all things.
You, I and them are mere ripples in air.
Soul to soul we’re one in illusion,
Passing through here, but still staying there.

The slings and arrows of our childhood memories,
We try not to pass them on, on down the line.
But each dancer’s fragment will seek out its learning.
Soul to soul in the long run, it’s all doing fine.
