Locust

Locust

(Paal Waaktaar)

Don't be afraid

It's a harmless moon

All we can do

Is to assume
Our lives must change
A change is due

I hear you say

What are we gonna do

O weeping night

O grieving sky
O rabbit wind
You just flew by

Grant me this

Some small reward
Don't announce
The time of the final call

My dream was this:

Across the sky
A slate-grey cloud
That filled the eye

... a slate-grey cloud...

Comes through the dust--
Locust

Don't be afraid

It's a harmless moon
