House Of The Healers
from Highwire by The Maple Trail
lyrics
If you see colours I see the pattern
Can you teach me that
There is a place without weight
That comes naturally to me
If only I could write it all down
like the roots of a diagram
Marry the lines on the page
You are healer / you are a healer
You are a healer / you are a healer
But how were we to know what would go down?
And what slays you
Are the blacks of her eyes
The white of her skin
Takes you in
I called you back when I lost your track
Finally a cul-de-sac
When I lost your track
And who could know
Who could tell
In that cul-de-sac, that stolen track
How were we to know what would go down?
You see colours, I see the patterns
Can you teach me that
There is a place without weight
That comes naturally to me
Can you teach me that
There is a place without weight
That comes naturally to me
If only I could write it all down
like the roots of a diagram
Marry the lines on the page
You are healer / you are a healer
You are a healer / you are a healer
But how were we to know what would go down?
And what slays you
Are the blacks of her eyes
The white of her skin
Takes you in
I called you back when I lost your track
Finally a cul-de-sac
When I lost your track
And who could know
Who could tell
In that cul-de-sac, that stolen track
How were we to know what would go down?
You see colours, I see the patterns
Can you teach me that
There is a place without weight
That comes naturally to me

about
The Maple Trail NSW, Australia
The Maple Trail is something of a personal odyssey, a musical journey that has traversed the ravines of Sydney’s metropolitan limits and rearticulated itself across hundreds of hours of tape and performances.
