Lyrics : Chamber Music

This is chamber music by Amiri Baraka

I am like that sometimes, I think
Some distant romantic?wrapped?in music
I wanted?to know myself and
Found that was?a lifetime's worth
The twists, zigzags, dips, and turns all could disorient you
That you were no longer you
But somebody else masquerading as your self's desire
Rain could come down, the sky grow light
It could even be twilight in a foreign town
Where you walked under far noises of invisible worlds
But when you remember all of your faces
Blown now, gone forever in the wind
You'll see that you were always wanting to be you
You were always wanting to know and love yourself
And you found a few faces, a few names that extended your life and other lives
And as time marches, hours, days, decades dance
You'll find your hand in someone else's hand
You'll hear yourself thinking about some person other than you
Then look up and yes
There will be some other person
Some closeness and echoed tenderness
That makes us more than dots under the faraway
That makes us more than split seconds of
Light
Split seconds of light
