lyrics

Neither plum nor tangerine
but orange in my memory
was the sky from which it fell
landed there in that motel

Milky moon hung by a thread
just say the word, I'll reel it in
like George Bailey for his girl
you and I against the world

I was born just like a dove
I only want to rise above

I know I should change my strings
amongst one hundred other things
I don't care what shape I hold
this world of pain is getting old so

Now I go down to the park
or cemetery after dark
feel the weight of life again
shave away ambivalence

Once you've seen the darkest night
and some cold wind snuffs out your light

Though we burned up by the sun
I couldn't help but find it fun

Humming to myself again
walking out at 6 am
Into pink and fairer skies
try and dry my crying eyes
