Little Wings Follow

though I was cracking

i still felt so free

like seagulls relaxing

or leaves in the tree

thats how i was living

my boys were my backing

and loyal to me

our chest they were strapping

with snowshoes on our feet

and sand in our sheets

let the fall flood arrive

let us see with new eyes

please destroy this disguise

there was a lacking

no head on my arm

no one to look after

or keep free from harm

no one to bring songs

no love ever lasting

on dark canyon drives

the voices were cackling

and poking my pride

so i decried

let the fall flood arrive

let it fall while i rise

let me gleam with surprise

let it lift up our life

so soon it came surging

i knew it by name

and so i was urging

its flicker its flame

and when the glow came

the lights were converging

they all seemed the same

the moment was merging

so i felt the change

the width of the rain

let the fall flood arrive

let it fill let it rise

let the grounds and the skies

be absorbed in our eyes

so go painting the sky

and be invisibly wise

let the fall flood arrive
