lyrics

Every night
I watch the sky
And wait for it to fall
I catch the airplanes
As they fly
And place them in the hall
When no is around me
I pretend
I make the rain
I guide the droplets
To the street
And point them toward the drain

If the morning
Pulses through
I’ll know it’s probably cool
To let the clouds
Collapse into
A local swimming pool
While the birds
Look to the south
And ask: Is it time to fly away?
I think I’ll keep
Them in their nests
And let them sleep the day

If the sun don’t shine
It’s likely cause the sun has died
And is floating in the tide
Of an ocean culled from all I’ve cried

Every night
I watch the sky
And wonder where it ends
And can the airplanes
When they fly
Reach something that transcends
Can they brush
The border
Of an abstract we don’t know
Cause I smoke my hope
Like a cigarette
And then throw it in the snow

If I changed a mirror
To a pile of broken glass
Does a sum become a sum become a sum
Like natural gas
If you cried into a mixing bowl
I'd lap it up just fine
I'm not old enough to separate
Your reflecting pool from mine

If the sun don’t shine
It’s probably cause you're still inside
Beneath an imitation sky
A mural painted on the fly
