No need to say the words
That once set free from the mouth
Clumsy and true, wispy and blue
Endlessly linger in air

Kicking and scratching
These words would rather be free
But once they’re free,
They linger in air endlessly

Farewell from the tongue
Once last breath and they’re gone
Words that seem wrong
They don’t seem to belong

Anywhere, somewhere, everywhere, everywhere
Anywhere, somewhere, everywhere, everywhere
Anywhere, somewhere, everywhere, everywhere
Anywhere, anywhere…

Words that seem wrong
They don’t seem to belong

Anywhere, somewhere, everywhere, everywhere
Anywhere, somewhere, everywhere, everywhere

Everywhere, everywhere
Everywhere, everywhere
They don’t seem to belong
Somewhere

Endlessly linger in air

The Astronomer

He spins
And turns the globe
With sleepy eyes
He reads alone
Looks through his lens
Observes the stars
Wonders what
What you are

No one believes
What he believes
Studies apart
Sees what he sees
Looks through his lens
Watches the stars
Wonders when
When he'll go that far

What what will he find
Must he look so hard
Pane to lean upon
Through his glass one sees so far

Come over please
My side this once
Take one small look
See what I see
You might like this
View of mine
Beautifully sad
Tortured but sweet

What what will he find
Must he look so hard
Pane to lean upon
Through his glass one sees so far
