spinning away


"One by one, all the stars appear
As the great winds of the planet spiral in
Spinning away, like the night sky at Arles
In the million insect storm, the constellations form

On a hill, under a raven sky
I have no idea exactly what I've drawn
Some kind of change, some kind of spinning away
With every single line moving further out in time."
"Spinning Away"--Brian Eno and John Cale
One of my favorite songs. Heartbreakingly beautiful.
