David Berman - There Is a Place lyrics

There is a place past the blues I never want to see again There is a place past the blues I never want to see Black planet Black freighter Black sea Police conversation 1783 I saw God's shadow on this world I saw God's shadow on this world I saw God's shadow on this world I saw God's shadow on this world I could not love the world entire There grew a desert in my mind

I took a hammer to it all Like an insane medieval king I saw God's shadow on this world I saw God's shadow on this world I saw God's shadow on this world I saw God's shadow on this world I could not love the world entire There grew a desert in my mind I took a hammer to it all I took a hammer to it all I saw God's shadow on this world
