Lyrics
I'm waiting around on an open day
I can hear the city singing far away
And I can see the blues
Out in the offing
I know there's somewhere I'm expected to be
But I see the wind is blowing tops of trees
And I'm overcome
With just unfolding
And I laugh at myself
Throw my body to the ground
Crying at the splendor and the sound
Until I feel someone
Pulling at my sleeve
I know I've gotta go, I know I've gotta leave
I'm watching the crowd, they're set in motion
A little girl, is talking and talking
But I don't know
What any of it means
Someone's coming in, they want to take me away
And I'm looking out, into the living array
And then it all makes sense
But only like a dream
I'm looking around for something to ground me
I've got the leaves switching all around me
And isn't that the way
It is with living
I made promises to everyone before
But I don't believe in myself anymore
And I have no choice
But I'm somehow willing
I'll bring the feeling back
Someday a memory like that could save me
From letting go of faith
