lyrics

In the Distanceless Nothing,
the Son yet to be born hangs in the sky
as I ponder the color of his eyes
from East to West the whole day long

In the dirt beneath my feet
flesh yet to be decomposed hangs on my bones
ready to heed that call
when it sounds

And what goes up, must come down
so I keep my hands sunk in the ground
Sweet Mother Earth never disappointed me

And what starts crooked grows straight in time
impurity fades
I'm sure you'll find
Great Father Spirit never lets our heads hang low
for long

And they gave me the words to this song

In the air above my head
thoughts yet to be formed drift with clouds and storms
and plunge lightning bolts into my unsuspecting mind

With the fire in my hands
I sweep streaks of flame
as I dance in the black twilight stillness of eclipse

And what goes up, must come down
so I keep my hands sunk in the ground
Sweet Mother Earth never disappointed me

And what starts crooked grows straight in time
impurity fades
I'm sure you'll find
Great Father Spirit never lets our heads hang low
for long

And they gave me the words to this song
