Weightless

Of all the million galaxies

How did we arrive in these,

Small bodies small lives

From the double helix of space and time?

I'm feeling deep again,

It's getting late, and I've had too much to drink!



Take me home, I'll follow you

We'll tumble from this midnight bar

What I'm really trying to say is

It's good we came here

Assumed these bodies from light years away



Now I'm weightless with you

In this dark house we're dancing slow

To all this ragged jazz

On the midnight radio



Did you see the wind,

Under the hawk's wing today?

Black feathers spiraling

Higher and higher against the grey, against the grey

Your being in my bones

Is doing the same

Spinning dizzy, reeling circles

Breathing my gravity away, oh away



Now I'm weightless with you

Floating towards morning

A stillness just this side of expectancy

It's enough to be alive in this rain and fire



And I, I love the summer

August thunderstorms

Cooking big dinners with the food we have grown

It's another kind of elemental making love



Now I'm weightless with you

Floating towards the morning

A stillness just this side of so much desire

Just a dragonfly, just a mountain fire



Weightless with you

Floating towards the morning

Windows thrown wide

And the air tastes damp of green things tonight



Of all the million galaxies

how did we arrive in these.

Small bodies small lives

Warm hands tonight

Of all the million galaxies

Of all ... of all
