Cathedral

I woke up inside of an old cathedral
Sunlight shining down from the windows
And I started to feel I might be dreaming
When I noticed a river in the middle
So I crawled upon the wave, and it took me away
All above the world, looking down upon the plains
Heaven is a dock upon the water
Heaven is a place you call your own
Carried on our backs into our slumber
Oh, heaven is that place you always go
So I crawled upon the wave, and it took me away
All above the world, looking down upon the plains
So I'm floating farther down that river
Silhouettes and spirals passing through
Taking shape of all the life i've known
Oh, heaven is a feeling you know
So I crawled upon the wave, and it took me away
All above the world, looking down upon the plains

The Fool

Come down from the night sky
Speaking like you never left
You come down so easy
Suit me like a breath
All the while the nameless stars
All the planets and their moons
All the while the railway cars are
Moving around you
You come down from the night sky
Thinking I might understand
You come down so easy
But you're water in my hands
What am I gonna do
When you float back out again?
What would i ever do
I can't always play the fool
I can't always play the fool
All the while the nameless stars
All the planets and their moons
All the while the railway cars keep
Moving around you
You're too old to be running like this
Too young to keep still
And I wanna go with you, but
I can't always play the fool
I can't always play the fool
I can't alway play the fool

Ancient Ritual

How long must I wait
Throwing stones over the gate
Holding feathers in my hand
Listen quiet to how they land
Ancient ritual
I'd try anything now
Glowing eyes out in the dark
Walk the dog back from the park
They're out looking at some unknowable truth
How long
How long until it breaks
All of God's names
The ever seeing eye
I'm singing to my hands
I'm talking to the sky
Rosary on a broken string
Comfort me, show me what I need
Ancient ritual
I'd try anything now

Window

Yellow light on the street side of the house where we used to live
In the dark of the bedroom, I would lay there and hold my breath
And when the neighborhood drunk would ride his bike outside our window
Always saying the same thing
He'd say "I'm light as the wind"
Light as the wind
I read a story of a man who held himself at the bottom of a well
He would stay there for several days, let his mind wander between realms
And in the darkest part of night
When the moonlight shone through his only window to the world
And all was quiet
He was light as the wind
Light as the wind
I was in love, the kind that keeps you lonely, it holds a fog over your head
When I was working my boss told me I always seem like I am somewhere else
In my mind, I was under water where the Salmon River flows along the mountainside
And all was quiet
And I was light as the wind
Light as the wind
Light as, I was light as
