From the recording Virginia Neon
Lyrics
For Gaudenz Derungs
When you burned my eyes I was just a child. When the leaves had gone I was all alone. When the blossoms fell love had cast its spell. When the frost had come I was twenty-one. If we catch the sun. Before it comes undone. If we touch the wind before it ever ends. When you burned my eyes. When I was done with school you were fifty-two. The day I went away you drove me to the bay. So the years have gone. Seldom home I come. I see it in your face. In hugs and wet misplace. If we catch the sun. Before it comes undone. If we touch the wind before it ever ends. When you burned my eyes.
