When they reached the old wall, it was too dark to see so they rested there Listening to crickets and trees He fed the pig onions, and carrots, and pants And sang about loving and learning to dance I woke up alone Froze to the bone I walked to the edge of the moon There in the sky A sight for sore eyes A scene from the walls of my room Like marbles Sprayed out before me Asteroids, comets, and Nebula A silent ballet so heavenly Something so incredible Turning in wonder First over, then under A dance that you wouldn't believe Suddenly all of those planets That I took for granted Were tipping their turbans to me I took a big leap of blind faith Stepped off the moon And jumped into outer space I called to the North Star "Come take my hand, sweet Polaris" I wanted to learn about love From the heavens above We spun out like binary stars She showed me the rivers of Mars As soon as my orbit was set She dropped my hand She let me go I couldn't slow... down Spinning so out of control... now Further and further away... from All of the things I could name... why? Why did I feel so afraid? Why do we fear what we cannot explain?
