See me waving my handkerchief on the shore
See my arm raised high
See that ship sail off with its sails aloft
And see me dry my eyes
And see more salty tears flow as my house is blown wide
And see me watch the waves roll in from somewhere
See me squint my eyes
See me learn to live without my loved ones
See me scan the skies and see the flock of birds goodbye
And turn to go inside
But I feel you on my neck
You are a ball of fire
See me reach up, see me touch my neck
See my fingers recoil
See the life come back into my body
See me living wide
And see me look from side to side
And tiptoe in your light
See me look at you and lose my sight
And while my eyes burned, I saw it
Oh no, here comes a black ship rising under red sail
See it fill the sky
See it bellow up
See their gleaming eyes
Hear their scary trumpets
See me run in terror for the mountain
See me scramble high
And see me burned and blind
And all hopeless and barren
See me sprawled out
See me crawl and whine
See me search for signs
And I see you weird and high
You are a ball of fire
Solar System
Fireball, fireball
Ball of fire
Oh no, I am lacking
I want what I see
You, fireball, have rolled away and shaded valleys
So here I am in the creek bed,
So here I feel my way in the dark
What wonder?
What treasure map?
What breaking of day?
What stream used to flow here and now what dusty decay?
Let the flash flood begin
Wash me down the canyon
Quicksand, pull me in
Blow over me, solar wind
You’re vultures in trees
I know you're out there,
You're lanterns on lakes
I know you're out there,
You're soccer balls on knees
Through your skirt I see your legs gracefully
I know you're out there,
You're swaying and pleased
I know you're out there,
You're vultures in tress
I know you're out there,
In mountainous peaks
Don’t let gravity win
Blow on me, solar wind
Universe
See me look unveiled when I walk out of the canyon,
And see me start to climb at the end of day
But who's there to see me walk out?
There's no beacon, no sun to block out, no bird of blaze
A close dark voice says:
"Do you really think there's anybody out there?"
Uh-huh
“Uh-uh”
So what? No one sees me
What do I care now? The black night has seized me
On a mountains mane, I climb to my claim
And I am aimless, alone, and unraveling
And above, baron wastelands stare at me
They know my name
"What do you want?"
And I know I'll be in the air,
And that my trail passes lion's lairs,
And I see summits buried in more air
Buried in space
“See Phil, there's no end in sight”
How many times have I learned this before?
How many times have I made up this song before?
How many times have I died up here before?
And oh, how hidden tomorrow morning is!
What heavy fog!
What wide shadow!
Universe, I know you
Mt. Eerie
"Your legs walked your heart high
Your whole body’s sprawling out, made your view wide"
I'm on a boulder
Over alpine tops, I’m peeking
I watched you across the water in the evening
"I watched you from above"
And to my eye, your greys and blues were blown
Something that I held onto is leaving,
The shape to what I saw has slowly grew
"Get higher on your hill
So your big black cloud will come
So your big black cloud will come
And press you to the ground,
The air will leave your chest,
You’ll fade from where you're found
When you're finally standing still
And your fingers all go numb,
Get higher on your hill
So your big black cloud will come
So your big black cloud will come"
“Do you see what happens when big black death breathes on you with his breath?
I'm wild and woolly, a bloating bully
I'll strike you down and then I'll strike you down again
Do you see what happens when I peel away your bark and stain your blue sky dark?
Your breath I take to live, your death I ache to give
So take me in and crumble, be smothered in my rumble
My flash of thunder booms, your lack of wonder looms,
I'll press you to the ground, you’ll fade from where you're found”
The way they share,
“The flesh we tear, so innocent of memory, we feast”
They feast
“We invite each bite into our flight
Since we give our blood now into you
And feathers, from skin, begin
“I am the twilight on the porch”
A leaf falls in your lap"
“I am the candle falling, your hands gripping the table cloth,
Your eyes, only three years old”
The way they share, the memory you did wear
And now your song is inside them
Universe
Now that I have disappeared, I have my sight
Beautiful black, you are unveiled
Now you're mine
So let my voice bellow about you, silent night
And let my voice echo out from caves and mines
You have a bright disguise: Mountains and light
But universe, I see your face in blackest night
And you see mine
Oh universe, I see your face looks just like mine
We are open wide
