Starsailor Lyrics - Tim Buckley

Starsailor 

I am a bee out in the fields of winter 

And though I memorized the slope of water, 

Oblivion carries me on his shoulder: 

Beyond the suns I speak and circuits shiver, 

But though I shout the wisdom of the maps, 

I am a salmon in the ring shape river. 

Composer's Notes. Harmonic structure: a set of horizontal vocal lines 

is improvised in at least three ranges, the vertical effect 

of which is atonal tone clusters and arhythmic counterpoint.

Performance: the written melody is to be sung, after which 

the lines of lyric are to be reordered at will and sung 

to improvised melody, taking advantage of the opportunity 

for quartertones, third note lengths, and flexible tempo.
