When I Fall |
I look straight in the window, try not to look below |
Pretend I’m not up here, try counting sheep |
But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower |
Nine-point-eight straight down I can’t stop my knees |
I wish I could fly |
From this building, from this wall |
And if I should try |
Would you catch me if I fall? |
My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary |
Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings |
Can’t look below me, or something will throw me |
I curse at the windstorms that October brings |
I look in the boardroom; |
a modern pharaoh’s tomb |
I’d gladly swap places, if they care to dive |
They’re lined up at the window, peer down into limbo |
They’re frightened of jumping, in case they survive |
I wish I could step from this scaffold |
Onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed |
With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who’s dead |
Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer |
I look like a painter, behind all the grease |
But paintings creating, and I’m just erasing |
A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece |
I wish I could fly |
From this building, from this wall |
And if I should try |
Would you catch me if I fall? |
When I fall |
When I fall |
When I fall |
When I fall |
