Alexei Panshin's The Abyss of Wonder

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 

 
Hoo, hoo, goes the night owl
    The lady wakes again
Hoo, hoo, goes the night owl
    My lady wakes again
She's been runnin' through the darkness
    The Devil's got her by a chain

She's been tryin' to get some peace
    But her mind won't let her be
She's tryin' so hard to get some peace
    But her mind just won't let her be
There's fire on the mountain
    Fire in the deep blue sea

Well, it's East and West, left and right
Heaven and Hell, darkness and light
Where do they come from? And where do they go?
Dancin' like firelight, meltin' like snow

She's tryin' to see her face
    But the mirrors have been sold
She's tryin' to see her face
    But all the mirrors have been sold
She's livin' in a house of strangers
    And all she can see is the world

Because it's East and West, left and right
Heaven and Hell, darkness and light
Where do they come from? And where do they go?
Dancin' like firelight, meltin' like springtime snow

Splashin' through the water
    Horses are crossing the stream
Splashin' through the water
    Her horses are fording the stream
Sometimes life seems so real
    Other times she knows it's all a dream
 
 

- by Josh Wachtel and Alexei Panshin
