Summer Song

Born to the earth

Walking the way of a father

He knew lakes and storms

He knew all the heartaches they brought him

He had a pain in his head

From a fixated light

There’s a child in his arms

With pretty green eyes

So she slept in a bed

Made in a different room

She dreamt of aero space planes

And fell in spells of neon futures

She had a pain in her head

From a fixated light

And waves of distance cut deep like a lonely night

He lives in a different time

And she’s lost in a different life

He was born in a different body

And he’ll never find her

He had this dream

He was in love with a face that he didn’t know

She had this dream

She was back in the halls of the church

Where there were hundreds of us

We were bowing in awe

Then the earth opened wide and swallowed

them both, then they woke
