Lay Your Cheek on Down

Full of waves and fields This universe we glide on in misshapen vessels Afraid of the spray Just beyond the glass Fear the scrape of rocks Just off the path Just beyond the wall This route of carved tunnels To be floating there alone in the water Would be to be in space alone Embedded in the stone of the mountain As in amber To wrap your arms around the boulder Because it is the only thing And the wisest thing around Lay your cheek on down Lay your cheek on down Lay your cheek on down Lay your cheek on down, down, down You said you were a traveler You said you were the wind You said you were the first one on the moon That was only the beginning You said that you had snuck well past this galaxy By the time the sun had drawn on our faces Some bronze image But I say hey Lay your cheek on down Lay your cheek on down Lay your cheek on down, down, down Lay your cheek on down Lay your cheek on down
