Lyrics
I stall, all out of phase again
Like an ascender
Pulled back down onto the scale
I dream a blue-crested heron
He rules low and high here
He’s always divining
Slowing the air, turning the flow
Cannonball, over the waterfall
All through the lurid sky, rebounding
He’s in me, keeping eternity
Out of sight
He’s here again
I know he’s here again
Now through the racing, pounding, surging wall
Face down with intention
Grab the lip of a boulder
Sliding off the ledge
Ring my broken fingers ‘round
The ankle of a bird
Grip of hollow iron bone
Oh saver and denier
Trainer, magnifier
Anchored ‘til I yield again
Rising in your span
Cannonball, over the waterfall
All through the lurid sky, rebounding
He’s in me, keeping eternity
Out of sight
He’s here again
I know he’s here again
And this world is a falling light
And this world is a falling light
And eternity in my sight
I’m ready to ride the cannonball
And eternity in my sight
I’m ready to ride the cannonball
And eternity in my sight
And this world is a falling light
And he knows my name
Now he flies
Over the grove
Over the reeds, down in the reeds
Into the yellow leaves
And the yellow fog
In the golden sky
