lyrics

4. Paper Wings

May is dressed in Juniper
Meadowlark overture
Waits for her measure and sings

Chemicals and mysteries
Spinning invisible
Grasshopper opens her wings

Everything's moving all the time
Every shout comes down to a whisper
Flying so high just to crash back down

I know you've gone off
to multiply and divide
and you don't like what you see inside

When did you lose your faith?
When did your angel fall?
Maybe you're the angel we're waiting for

Maybe you're an acrobat
Maybe a physicist
I think you're wiser than time

With an open hand
I trust the world to spin
As this old world will spin anyway

It's a fragile enterprise: we all fly on paper wings
