scott wheeler - circe lyrics

it was easy enough
to bend them to my wish
it was easy enough
to alter them with a touch
but you
adrift on the great sea
how shall i call you back?

cedar and white ash
rock+cedar and sand plants
and tamarisk
red cedar and white cedar
and black cedar from the inmost forest
fragrance upon fragrance
and all of my sea+magic is for nought

it was easy enough –
a thought called them
from the sharp edges of the earth;
they prayed for a touch
they cried for the sight of my face
they entreated me
till in pity
i turned each to his own self

panther and panther
then a black leopard
follows close–
black panther and red
and a great hound
a god+like beast
cut the sand in a clear ring
and shut me from the earth
and cover the sea+sound
with their throats
and the sea+roar with their own barks
and bellowing and snarls
and the sea+stars
and the swirl of the sand
and the rock+tamarisk
and the wind resonance –
but not your voice
it is easy enough to call men
from the edges of the earth
it is easy enough to summon them to my feet
with a thought –
it is beautiful to see the tall panther
and the sleek deer+hounds
circle in the dark
it is easy enough
to make cedar and white ash fumes
into palaces
and to cover the sea+caves
with ivory and onyx

but i would give up
rock+fringes of coral
and the inmost chamber
of my island palace
and my own gifts
and the whole region
of my power and magic
for your glance
