Music & Lyrics by Jeremy Siskind & Peter Eldridge

lyrics

By the churning of the ocean,
The horizon glowed so bright,
Five stars were all afire in the diamondlight.
A pentagonal pendant,
A mirror lined with jewels –
Oh, Linda, I dreamed of you.

The embers of the heavens
Are a stamp so deep and pure
They steal your meager breath away with cruel allure.
And they’ll show you death’s a wanderer
And that wise men play the fool –
Oh, Linda, they’re just like you.

Though philosophers are skeptics,
Preachers will attest
That the reapers and the sewers, well, they both are blessed.
So we worship and we squander,
So we’re restless and subdued,
Oh, Linda, we’re just like you.

I miss her, though she made mistakes,
I wish that she could know
How I caressed the silhouette left by her afterglow.
But memories are empty skies
And when I scan the inky hue
I think, “Linda, that could be you.”

Enchantress of the telescope,
Your power was your demise
Suffering silent for a while, you smiled for disguise.
Like a dancer in a masquerade
Can be both false and true,
Oh, Linda, that was just like you.

And, maybe I’ve ignored my friends,
I’m not proud and I’m not smart,
But there’s a drift I can’t resist in the abyss of stars.
In the mysteries of galaxies,
She lent me my first clue,
Oh, Linda, she was just like you.

I stepped into a seaside bar
To clear my weary head,
Where fishermen and phantoms gather to break bread.
I saw five stars in those dimmed-down lights,
They glistened and I knew,
Oh, Linda, I’m just like you.
