about

a song about a poem about a painting about a myth.

lyrics

well done my son, you've learned to fly
though feathers be unknown to those whose ceiling is the sky
forget these solid bones, forget this bitter ground
we'll steal the empty air, we'll never come back done

(sunlight reaching, always holding down)

though warned about the light, we give it all we're worth
what use are waxen wings to those whose flesh is made of earth?
and so they watch us fall, the ocean swallow whole
without a single breath exhaled to mourn a passing soul

(must be somewhere: ship sails calmly on.)

credits

from Dear Summer (National Songwriting Month 2012), released May 31, 2012
