THE GRIP OF PARALLEL
One year to the day
Since I first met Magdalena
In the land of Helveticae
On a freak and stormy day
She had a rival woman priestess
Of an ancient red skin people
And she gave me a coin of silver
Set in an etruscan ring of gold
With the Doge and Saint Marco
And the risen Saviour
Facing forward
I was thirty three years old
In the grip of parallel
Chorus
We were perfect in their footsteps
We were dancers to the call
With the ring of a golden promise
On that beautious first fall
So we followed it down to Venice
To where the lion smiled upon us
Saving there your guide was minted
The way is printed on your soul
And its been worn since then
By the gaunt and thin
Who roam the roads of the inner landscape
They seek and seek to more
Into the grip of parallel
Chorus
(Recorded by Jimmy McCarthy on 'The Song of the Singing Horseman')
