I try to turn it off
But the faucet’s set to on
And this moment is so delicate
Every second it is gone
And I try to share the shine
The mystery complete
But it’s like begging him to take
Me at my word down at his feet
And I throw my diamonds into water
They shimmer and they sparkle
I wasn’t thinking of
The fish that they might startle
As they’re raining from the surface
Of the world they seem to know
It’s like the clouds in the summer
Heavy with letting go
And I’m ominous and silver
Silhouetted in the dark
I never thought that I
Would be with this swimming lark
As the avenues all close
To let me know that I
Must walk my own path
From here unto the sky
