A Word on the wind
It drops you through the cosmos, then throws you out to sea
And swallows you like Jonah’s whale
It’s heavier than Tolstoy and lighter than a thought and stranger than the tallest tale
Love is not a word on the wind, a cheap song to sing when you’re drunk and stupid
Love is not a thing you can own and it can’t breathe alone and you knew
It starts with one small raindrop and before you see the tide
it’s 2000 leagues above your head
It puts you in a bubble and floats you on a breeze then butters you like fresh baked bread
And you knew, you knew, you knew for so long
You think the world will stop still you’re waiting for a sign, to let you know it’s here to stay
And how much will it cost you and how much will you lose
Well all you are is all you pay.
