Sent by the Man

(Daniel Roy Connelly)

Sent by the Man is a dreamy response to a lost love, the desire not to let go, and the eery, ethereal return of the lover.

Imagine while you can  
Me falling from the clouds,  
Sent back by the man  
To clothe you in pages  
And place in your palm  
A gem for the ages.  
 
Just like the horns outside that never cease 
You’re in my head again 
And there’s less room amid the gloom,  
So I fall to my knees and I pray for peace.  
 
I’m not done with you,  
How could I be done with you,  
You sheltered every dream  
I’d ever had, you took  
My breath away and wrapped  
Me in your arms until I died.  
 
Some would say I died  
A lucky man, and now  
I’ve been sent back  
To where it began 
And there you are,  
On a rock in the middle of  
The wine-red sea where you’re wailing,  
You’re wailing  
You’re wailing at first sight XX XXX
