lyrics

Carry me past canyons
cross the white walls
beds in place, they run away
carry you from cribs to grass
to lay your body down
where have you played?
gather up the anchors
just to wash them hung and dried
for what you’ve made
firelight to hold you tight
and shift your channels forth
into the gray

Send me starry silence
it’s a rainy roll to ride on silver wings
will you be a bird for them?
will you be a bird and when?
learn to love
from all you’ve changed
every way
now to run you homeward where you’ll stay.
