Before you walk too far
Watching the sunlight leave
Kicking the old rain down the road

Teasing the rooftop birds
Laying some love by night
Tired from laughing, trading tears

Know that our world
Is always on fire
Always a quiet pile of stones

We all float away
With birthday balloons
Sing with your teeth, cross your heart

If you've been emptied out
Blowing the flowers round
Here comes another thunderhead

Its wind is a welcome green
Ask if it brought a song
You got a good one from the moon
