A friend of mine wants to know what the poem is at the end of the Jig
of Life, word-for-word, and also who recites it. Thanks a lot, I'd
appreciate if people would mail it to me instead of posting it.... too
much bandwidth in this group as it is.

Here's what I could gather of the poem at the end of "Jig of Life" Many pardons if this is on the archive somewhere, I haven't had a chance to go poking around yet. I put this moment here I put this moment here I put this moment over here Over here Can't you see where memories are kept tripping underwater like a laughing girl Time in an eye responding past life run with the ocean and a woman unfurls holding all the love that waits for you here catch us now for I am your future A kiss on the wind and we'll make the land come over here to where when lingers waiting in this empty world waiting for them when the lights break loose for now does ride in on the third wave and you will dance on the sunlit pools we are of the flowing water and the god (???) we are water in a holy land of water and all that's to come runs in and the first on the strand (???) It's an interesting poem, and I'll feel silly if happens to be something that Tennyson or Shakespeare wrote. But that's life, isn't it? Favorite album? Hounds of Love, at least until I get my hands on The Dreaming Favorite song? You've got to be kidding. That's like picking your favorite nose, err...uh,...like picking your favorite course at a banquet. No such doing. And while I'm on the subject of deciphering KaTe, what is the word at the end of The Dreaming (the song)? A gravelly voice says - Woor-mica-ina? And what is woomera? E-mail me if the answers are too uninteresting to be posted. Gee, if only Athens had a Tower, then I could get Hammersmith, and then I'd have a reason to buy a VCR.
