They say when we die, we fall
For the sky cannot have us, the garden calls
For the constant touch of hands and knees
Sinking deeper and pleading, for in this soil lies our grief

Your heart is the sun that I fall, that I follow
East to west, turning always away as you go
Till the water we are gathers in gravity
Find the earth waiting quiet for what we come to be

Resting until in dark red sun rise
It becomes the mirage to keep us alive
A holler, a wraith, a vision of time
In language of patience and hope we are tied

Fall and follow, away as you go
The sky's no place for me
Further below, you'll be

You're returning, turning now
Can you hear me, hear me now?
So red, so red the sunrise
You're returning, turning now

You're returning, turning now
Can you hear me, hear me now?
So red, so red the sunrise
You're returning, turning now

If we stay long enough, they say we'll liquefy
In your place, leave a pool of desire, save your mind
A contortion of places seemingly kind, tell me though, does the wind hold your peace
There's a map in your bones of our home, I'll be there
Or the strands of the earth from which mother drinks? The long winding river
When the sky turns me down, just behind, soon I fear
Whose surface unmet, trembles as we seek

You're returning, turning now
Can you hear me, hear me now?
So red, so red the sunrise
You're returning, turning now

Fall and follow, away as you go
The sky's no place for me
Further below, you'll be

Fall and follow, away as you go
The sky's no place for me
Further below, you'll be

I am here, I am left
Voices carry in silence, void of air
May they remain forever in secret tow
The only place given when we have to go
