Eddies Of The Infinite Lyrics - Lex Zaleta

To clutch at life, as in a dream, 

To cling to the bubbles in it, 

As the man, the straw, the stream, 

Are eddies of the infinite. 

Artificial desperation sent you scurrying back to me 

After the trial separation that left us momentarily free. 

Just some temporary recreation 

Before the final alienation, 

And that one sweet inspiration 

That secured my destination 

And sent me hurrying out to sea. 

Too much of strife can make it seem 

To bring you a trouble a minute, 

As the span across the stream 

Readies me for the infinite. 

The angry crowd's reaction sent me scrambling for the door, 

Wishing my contrite retraction had made it there before. 

Just a momentary inaction 

Measured in the smallest fraction, 

Just a tiny loss of traction, 

Before I burst into action 

And quickly evened up the score. 

You touch your wife's long dark moonbeam; 

Two rings form the double limit, 

As the plans you draw in dreams 

Head East toward the infinite. 

To clutch at life, as in a dream, 

To cling to the bubbles in it, 

As the man, the straw, the stream, 

Are eddies of the infinite
