I Won’t Take No for an Answer

I won't take no for an answer
You’d better listen
I've had a vision
They're gonna come and release me
From this prison

I wash my feet in the river
Look at them glisten
You’d better listen
Hear what I say so obliquely
Through this prism

I dreamt that I was lyin' with you
In a burnt landscape
Umber of penumbra
And a bowl of painted grapes

Rain came down and everything began
To lose its shape
I wanted to be faithful
And I wanted to escape

Everyone's eager to meet me
I lean on my shovel
Gathering mussels
Watching the waves crashin' over
The rubble
