On The Turn

about

It was time for a rocker. The deep, mysterious rhythms of nature get down and have a bit of a boogie.

lyrics

ON THE TURN

When the tide's on the turn you can feel there's a pause
And a moment when everything changes
Like a comma that marks out a separate clause
That turns the whole sentence around
You look up from your book and you see with new eyes
A vision that stuns and estranges
You don't know what to make of the secret you've found
But you'll learn
When the tide's on the turn.

When the year's on the turn and the world holds its breath
For release from the cold grip of winter
And it reaches for life and holds on for grim death
And the sweetest of bitter desire,
Then the mantle of ice, like a tissue of lies,
Is aching to crack and to splinter
And deep in the heart of the land a green fire
Starts to burn
When the year's on the turn.

For the turn is the point where the pendulum stops
When it's poised at the outermost edge of its swing
The vertiginous moment before the shoe drops
And who knows what
The next moment will bring...

When your life's on the turn and you've come to the end
And you pray it will be a beginning
And you'd give all you own for a word from a friend
Or a touch that would prove that you're real
Oh sister, stay strong, for the sun will arise
And your life is a game worth the winning
And the prize is a treasure that's yours not to steal
But to earn
When your life's on the turn.

Zanda Myrande Westbury, UK

Zanda Myrande is still recovering from the trauma of being Zander Nyrond for several decades. She has only come out online at this point, for reasons which may be apparent from the picture above, but she proudly embraces her trans identity while still giving house room to Zander and the rest of the deadbeats who populate her head.

Lives in Wiltshire and has better friends than she deserves. ... more
