Before you walk too far Watching the sunlight leave Kicking the old rain down the road Teasing the rooftop birds Laying some love by night Tired from laughing, trading tears Know that our world Is always on fire Always a quiet pile of stones We all float away
With birthday balloons Sing with your teeth, cross your heart If you’ve been emptied out Blowing the flowers round Here comes another thunderhead Its wind is a welcome green Ask if it brought a song You got a good one from the moon
