David released this track on his own site during the massive attention for the Mick Karn Appeal. One line was added for considering to make a donation to the Mick Karn Appeal (mentioned as MKA). If you check the properties of the mp3, the Mick Karn appeal link is embedded within it.
Lyrics
There's a certain slant of light,
On winter afternoons
That opresses, like the heft
Of Cathedral Tunes
Heavenly hurt it gives us;
We can find no scar,
But internal difference
Where the meanings are
None may teach it, anything,
'T is the seal, despair,
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the air.
When it comes, the landscape listens,
Shadows hold their breath;
When it goes, 't is like the distance
On the look of death.
