red the sunrise

They say when we die, we fall For the sky cannot have us, the garden calls For the constant touch of hands and knees Sinking deeper and pleading, for in this soil lies our grief Your heart is the sun that I fall, that I follow East to west, turning always away as you go Till the water we are gathers in gravity Find the earth waiting quiet for what we come to be Resting until in dark red sun rise It becomes the mirage to keep us alive A holler, a wraith, a vision of time In language of patience and hope we are tied Fall and follow, away as you go The sky's no place for me Further below, you'll be You're returning, turning now Can you hear me, hear me now? So red, so red the sunrise You're returning, turning now You're returning, turning now Can you hear me, hear me now? So red, so red the sunrise You're returning, turning now If we stay long enough, they say we'll liquefy In your place, leave a pool of desire, save your mind A contortion of places seemingly kind, tell me though, does the wind hold your peace There's a map in your bones of our home, I'll be there Or the strands of the earth from which mother drinks? The long winding river When the sky turns me down, just behind, soon I fear Whose surface unmet, trembles as we seek You're returning, turning now Can you hear me, hear me now? So red, so red the sunrise You're returning, turning now Fall and follow, away as you go The sky's no place for me Further below, you'll be Fall and follow, away as you go The sky's no place for me Further below, you'll be I am here, I am left Voices carry in silence, void of air May they remain forever in secret tow The only place given when we have to go
