Peter Blegvad - Apricot lyrics

Very early I clearly realized the pleasures of seeing and song I learned to sing at an early year In the cot I recall my singing about a certain thing I saw I recall a song in the key of C concerning a thing seen just so I sang: "A-P-R-I-C-O-T abbreviates Attain Perfect Realization In The Cot" I sang: "Cot contains certain shining irreducible contributions So does the charnel; so does the ferris wheel gondola" Singing words devised for seeing "through not with eyes" "I am not what I see" "I is another" Words devised to peep into the gone or coming were shunned by me I referred to a single moment Early in a clearing I recall my singing songs of my seeing things just so I sang: "A net, a gem at every node, in each all others shining show Whole kit and kaboodle lit by an apricot's golden glow"
