lyrics

Lord close my back door
My back door ain't good for me

Lord close my back door
My back door ain't good for me

Can't find no clover in my back yard
Only a lone fig tree

Can't find no clover in my back yard
Only a lone fig tree

Once upon this perilous passage
Of love and life and destiny
Once a heart and mind have been opened
They will not rest they will not sleep

Now that I've found you in the Autumn
Remember I found you in the Spring
I've searched for you this whole world over
Through mountains, valleys, and through seas

I've travelled around the sun
Through centuries and millennium
Just to find where it begun
On river of saytr and cherubim
But this time I will not remain asleep

There is no past there is no future
There's only dreams and memory
A sun and moon that comes a shining
Its light upon us presently

The light of you through this prism
Has struck me both deaf and dumb
With its mad reflections
But I will overcome
'Cause the deaf will hear and the blind will see

I see you now in your garden
I wonder now do you see me?
Your dogs are deafening in their barking
Your banty's display is blinding
They kick up the dust and cause confusion
In this search now for symmetry
We have been fooled by false faces
Let no shadows fall between you and me

All shadows will be undone
By light of moon and of sun
And by the continuum
'Cause the deaf will hear and the blind will see

about

William Lee and the Modern Primitives Nashville, Tennessee

William Lee is the nom de guerre of William B. Sealy.

The question of humanity—it's loss through privation of the spirit, it's corruption by seemingly unsurmountable forces, and it's redemption and salvation by acts and actors of disproportionate courage—is a pervasive theme throughout Lee's work. ... more
