The lake was big as an ocean An ocean of my fears The mountains rise, clouds in my eyes And I brought myself out here Hear the hum of hummingbird wings The call of everything My heart's elephant sized with love of life But in the dark it's too loud, loud, loud, loud In the day I'm fine to be floating the line Above and below the water The shallow dive is no less a try To see underneath you don't have to go deep When the water's this clear If you look down once you could fall through But that's not what I want to do That's not what I want to do Every day becomes night sure as rain is right That's when I want you here When the sky eats up all of the light I want that to feel blanket-like But my bare-eyed view only lets through A few thousand pinpricks whispering blue While the rest of the black takes me all the way back With the space echo hum of the universe drums In a vacuum void of any dreams I've dreamed I can't lay myself down under this feeling I stare and stare and wait for things With the goldenrod and the pines and rocks
