Song in Stone |
Songbirds in the morning had my head |
Lost in the tall trees I knew well |
Well, I would say, dreaming my dry weeds |
Stray light finds its way to all of us |
Say something green, it comes back |
Sunlight on my lips, let 'em kiss dark leaves |
Let the hands of the wrong prophets heal me all they should |
Let the wine of the poison Jesuses taste good |
And all those trees lay down |
If you were a bird and fell into my arms |
If I wrote your song in stone |
If I wore your wings back home |
Would the dreams in the backwater drown us far from harm? |
Give this to the gray, it comes back gold |
Birds of the morning, they may know |
Know more than us, giving their hymns for life |
Let the waves on the wrong water say what they will say |
While the wind and the broken branches float me away |
All tall trees lay down if you were the bird who fell into my arms |
I could write your song in stone |
I could wear your wings back home |
Would the dreams in the backwater drown us far from harm? |
