A Teardrop for Chaos

Music & lyrics, 1978

I felt you near me
I felt your hand
Reaching out across the land
Trembling gently
Crying softly
Mourning — for there is no Plan

Just chaos
And teardrops
Angry gods and foolish man

Lovers
Dreamers
Crying in the sand...

Are you a dream?
Am I a dreamer?
Are we both lost fragment seekers?
Seeing clearly
Speaking plainly
Weeping — for there is no Maker

Only chaos
And teardrops
Errant man without a Maker

Lovers
Dreamers
Crying in the sand...

Grace, love, freedom
Peace for all
Shouting, screaming — it's an empty call
Passing swiftly
Touching lightly
All the symptoms of a noble cause

Chaos!
Teardrops!
Lost in the darkness we stumble and fall

Lovers
Dreamers
Crying in the sand...

Lovers
Dreamers
Dancing in the sand...

Dancing in the sand...
