Tamarack Room
by nielskunze on September 9, 2011
Perpetual child… forever your forlorn face
Haunt me with your human shape…
Disarm me with your need
Do you have a sense for Quality?
Or will you steal the life from me?
I don’t know if I would deny you
Forever despise you or through pity would love you?
The truth is never simple in the Tamarack Room…
There are trees and mountaintops, rivers and oceans…
More than any picture-book can ever whisper
Do you desire to touch them?
Can you define your emptiness?
Close your vacant eyes…
I don’t know if I could ever show you,
Ever hold your love in a backless mirror…
The truth is never simple in the Tamarack Room…
Oh our mongoloid progeny, every man has the right to misery
But you carry that rusty chain blatantly around your neck…
Does the metal bite your flesh? Can we break for you those rusty chains?
Or will you carry them reservedly to everybody’s grave?
Or will you carry them reservedly to everybody’s grave?
I don’t know what to do for you
So I sing for you… I sing for you
The truth is never simple in the Tamarack Room…
Now I see your unfettered smile…
Now I see your unfettered smile…
Now I see your unfettered smile…
The sun falls gently in the Tamarack Room…
And may the sun come gently to the Tamarack Room…
Forever… more…

This was my favorite Missing Peace song by far!
Still have the chorus go through my head periodically. “there are trees and mountain tops, rivers and oceans…..”
