Wind's first whims were in my face
Kept me walking in place and feeling
Timid 'bout the limits of my stride
Was seek and hide, seek and hide
One day I spun and then ho and hum
The breeze – a little tease – was now 'pon my back
But alack lack of reason stopped pleasin' and now I'm
drifting, spirits lift and fall 'pon the squall, I can't hear you, don't call
'Cause soon time will take it all

Qualms have steered and how
I've let them shove me
But the calm it veers me now
t'ward the Covey

Now as I hoist the sail, ride the gale
and pale in comparison to who I planned to be
The fee, I agree, for this bitter-sweet cup of tea is more than it's worth
But birth it comes with a thirst and the verse does not always rhyme

Qualms have steered and how
I've let them shove me
But the calm may veer me now
Into the Crepuscule Covey nothin' below, nothin' above me

And in this theater the seats are empty
The players have left the stage
We know we've been cheaters
Refusin' to act our age (but how to assuage the turning of the page?)

So wrap a blanket cross my shoulders
The fire smolders – wind can't blow it back to flame
No shame, no blame it's just the way of things here
So stand clear as you cheer me on in years
These arrears must be paid before I pull the shades

And the atrium it now stands empty
The musicians have put their instruments away
Oh, how we played to 'em
Oh, how we held them in sway

Need to know when to give way – take your bow gracefully and fade
Whether or not you still feel like you got that shine
'Cause time and its sand, no hand can command
It reasons to stand there is no great plan for you
hey, I'm talkin' 'bout me too

And maybe I'll see you in the Crepuscule Covey
With no goal, no dreams, no cares
Maybe I'll meet you in the Covey
No hopes, no wishes, no prayers

No self, no group, no flag, no troupe, no blind or astute
No piper left to pay
