I remember the skies and the sand I remember your face and your lovely hand And words poured out on a dusty land ♪ And gravity comes to us all I feel the engine stall I feel us start to fall Blue over you And lose all to you The time expanding And lose all ascent ♪ A signal that no one hears The surface blurs and the ocean nears Sadness bursting disappears ♪ Waves that lift us and toss A promise made of enduring loss And you speak only of minnows and moss Blue over me And lose all to me The time expanding And lose all ascent While you let the water in I sleep and feel near again ♪ While you let the water in I dreamt again that I couldn't swim ♪ Finding myself past the half-life of me Lost in the weeds, tugging at sleeves A dreadful despair of a color that pales to describe ♪ So taking the form of a winged butterfly And lifting myself through a sliver of white The lazy path to the fence row and the flowers within ♪ Needing some speed, I became then a fawn Feeling the dangers of the quickening dawn I leapt over the fence and raced across the softening ground ♪ And after some time I discovered a pool Water was clear where the lilies were blue I drank until full and waited to no ill effect ♪ Seeing the sky I became then a bird A swallow that sped through the warm thinning air To heights unimagined, 'til loneliness turned back its hold ♪ Where is the place for what's all left of me? Where do we keep the things we don't need? Where is the solace promised me in voices before? ♪ Suddenly me just here back on the land Reaching for you, finding your hand
