I dreamed that Maxie was smoking a pipe in the garden thumbing the racks of the rawhide beginning to harden And somewhere, the husk of an animal turning to bone, dear And somebody whistles a note and the dogs hobble home, dear To a house on a hill Do you know what I know about time, dear? Ice in the Austrian mountain is giantly dreaming The wide, frozen seas of Europa are quietly breathing There are people I’ve loved living places that I’ll never be, dear And life will go on like it has for so long without me here In a house on a hill Do you know what I know about time, dear
