I met her on a concrete block
On the road to Taj Mahal
Spinning future silhouettes
Of life and love and all
And I said, "Will we meet again?"
She said, "I'm everywhere at once and I'm nowhere just the same."
I said, "Woman what should I call you?"
"I am called the Lady of a Thousand Names"
A Thousand Names
I met her in a cloud of dust
While I was piling up the time
Facing possibilities
Of what is and isn't mine
And I said, "Will we meet again?"
She said, "I'm everywhere at once and I'm nowhere just the same."
I said, "Woman what should I call you?"
"I am called the Lady of a Thousand Names"
A Thousand Names
She found me at the precipice
And pulled me back from the very brink
She taught me finest poverty
And why the hot air sinks
And I said, "Will we meet again?"
She said, "I'm everywhere at once and I'm nowhere just the same."
I said, "Woman what should I call you?"
"I am called the Lady of a Thousand Names"
A Thousand Names
I'm finally learning secret truth
In the phases of the moon
Crescent fading to the left
Darkness at high noon
And I said, "Will we meet again?"
She said, "I'm everywhere at once and I'm nowhere just the same."
I said, "Woman what should I call you?"
"I am called the Lady of a Thousand Names"
A Thousand Names
The story ends with futures lost
And in the past regained
The lies that drive all present tense
Yield and fall away
And I said, "Will we meet again?"
She said, "I'm everywhere at once and I'm nowhere just the same."
I said, "Woman what should I call you?"
"I am called the Lady of a Thousand Names"
A Thousand Names
A Thousand Names
A Thousand Names
A Thousand Names
