WHAT YOU SEE
Words & Music by Neil Pike ©1998
The sun will one day disappear
All the rest remains unclear
Just shadows on the wall.
A second grace, a brand new face,
A momentary glimpse of coloured space.
Understanding, as you fall.
Concrete grief, keep it brief,
Understanding, sweet relief.
Thank you, very well.
And all you touch & all you know
Is mostly just a shadow show
Of wishing wells & private hells,
Listen to your heart…

Sunflower fields, green apples hanging from a tree.
Haystack, lightning & an orange moon I see.
The fruits not ripe but still it seems like it’s quite good to me.

Hanging round the madness of the Gypsy quarter.
Tripping on the sadness of my spiritual daughter.
All the rest got led away like lambs unto the slaughter.

What you see is what you get.
I might be dying but I’m not quite dead yet.
I leave this place with no regret.
Throw away my blindfold and my final cigarette.
I woke up laughing with atear upon my face
Looked around me, I was in the right place.
The sun up above me & the trees all around
I kiss the open sky, I kiss this sacred ground.

One & one is two unless you know the way to fuse.
All the rest is silence & there’s not much there to choose.
Still in all, it mostly hurts you when you fall.

I see you run from one circle to another.
You’re still looking for yourself in the eyes of your lover.
The cracking wall is just another curtain call.

What you see is what you get.
We’re all dying but we’re not quite dead yet.
I leave this world with no regret.
Throw away my blindfold and my final cigarette.
I woke up laughing with a tear upon my face
Looked around me, I was in a good place.
The sun up above me & the trees all around
I kiss the open sky, I kiss this sacred ground.
