empty water, 2000 remix
I am not
your state of grace
your mud-caked root
your bitter icicle
your sheltered sparrow
your wall-hung sword
I am not
yours.
down and down and
deeper down, I play
off of you, sunbeam hands
and moonlight eyes
plunging happily
into a hole
of my own choosing.
(one two three)
I swing upwards into the sun
(three two one)
I am dropping back to the sand
of the playground
I'll let go
someday, someday, someday
and continue my journey
upwards
and
(one two three)
I am hurtling towards heaven and you
and
(three two one)
I am spitting words like marbles out
oh, one two three
I refuse to be my own echo
and three two one
you join me as long as you can keep up.
