lyrics

i took a little spill
i fell pretty far i fear
i fell a few thousand feet
through some planet’s atmosphere
but i landed on my feet, somehow
now i’m assessing the damage done
my body’s banged up, my dear
but each and all of my thoughts are clear as water

i walked an hour or so
without a sign of where i was
and so i walked some more
i found a river there
one thousand feet below
a mountain i was standing tall on
i felt my body go
next thing that i recall was water.

now i’m feeling fine again
and i can do anything

i got your letter, babe
from a passing flock of birds
i liked what you had to say
and i loved the spaces between your words
it’s a delicate editing act
the surgical use of a fine red pen
to say all that you want to with tact
but leave enough out to let the light in
and it’s really a remarkable gift
one i wasn’t blessed in being born with
and sometimes i wonder if
i left too much of the good stuff out.
i left too much of it out.

but that doesn’t matter now
i’m here to love you now
yes, i’m here to love you now
i’m here to love you
