The Staging Post

from Phantastes by Nick Harper

lyrics

They say a pot of Roman gold was found at one end of that rainbow
Between this world and the next
Where the one-eyed Magpie watches me walk by again
All the way from the life-giver river in the West
To the white horse by the white house
Both standing there in the rain
On the corner of Choppingknife Lane

Shelter!
With my friends at either end of that rainbow
Pure, real gold
They opened the door and they took me in
Just when I needed it the most
At the staging post

Other dreams came in from the blue
And fairly hid the kiss from view
Six string salutations ran imagination through
My spirit stretched out as it rested
Safe at the halfway house
But my soul was always looking out for you

Shelter! I stumbled in
The bone-weary spaced-out lovelorn ghost
And I never forgot the kindness I got
Just when I needed it the most
At the staging post

From here I can see the beginning and on and beyond
Where I live now is where I lived then
Distance, time, nothing’s really gone
Nothing’s really gone, I’m still here
Shelter! Shelter! Shelter! My friends
Shelter! When you need it the most
At the staging post

There but for the grace of the kiss go I

And you know I am but one of many spirits here
Resting from the road
So come on, come on, come on, join the host
At the staging post
