lyrics

Out through the bay window, headfirst in ivy
Moonlit escape from a world left behind me
Woken from boredom, the stillness of life
To visions untethered and endless

Scaled up the oak tree to survey the city
Blocks from my shortened breath, miles from your pity
Your wings were lost when you circled the sun
My wings were left by the window

Out of the city away from lights and the sound
Into the unknown, the stars to the treetops a crown

Tripped down embankments and parking lot valleys
Walking in shadows thru driveways and alleys
Charcoal and kerosene fresh in the air
The clothes on the laundry lines waving

Pitched up in bluffs by the edge of the water
Further and further from farther and farther
Onward the cliffs and the meadows await
The joy and the endlessness: freedom

Out of the city away from lights and the sound
Into the unknown the stars to the treetops a crown
