MOURNER’S DANCE As recorded by Devendra Banhart (From the 2016 Album APE IN PINK MARBLE) [Intro] [Verse 1] The early writings show the sequence of the dance The individual awakens and expands I looked into the room And saw the dance resume Between the origins Between the dawn [Verse 2] Learn to identify the blossom in plain view It will consume your body when the dance is through There is no real you there is only ever you There is no real you there is only ever you I looked into the verse And saw the dance disperse Between the images Between the lines [Interlude] [Verse 3] Only the true disciple activates the word It must be understood before it can be heard The parting song ever in our hearts The parting song ever in our hearts The mourners’ dance begins When we remember them The mourners’ dance is through When we remember you [Outro] We remember you We remember you We remember you We remember you We remember you We remember you We remember you We remember you We remember you
