Damaged Sunset

Along the green water

The soldier sang spring moons away

And the soldier had a brother who ran

And he's calling out for blossoms

Blame the way the sky looked

When those planes fell down

The ground the nines, by tens...

There is beginning and another, again and again

We won’t rest here by the hour

Only weightless when you let them

So measure, measure on

And feel the way I thought of you tonight

From so many miles away

Across time and reach of the engines and the furies

Sunset damage by the mouthful

The others hardly heard them

They kept traveling in circles and

Drifted back in to seven notches above

"The top of the world" you called it

Set the towers on fire

Just to feel the space beyond

You won't rest again here

Burn up the hours, collect them by the pound

And you won't know how it goes down

And we won’t know how it goes down

Falling back to water
