lyrics

You rode your bicycle far, far beneath me,
Dodging landmine cracks in pavement, big strong roots,
And how I wept at every scrape, willing healing.
How I always prayed you'd pluck the sweetest fruits.

And when my magic winds had all seemed to fail you,
Diving deeper than my ancient eyes can see,
My feathers hung in sorrow.
Red gold and green.

But you had crawled up back to earth with bloody fingers
And I have never been more happy in all my many days
A million offerings on alters
Before my gaze

Now you are riding once again (through the backyards)
Fences cracking under hoof, drum roll beating through your heart.
Dawn breaks in an instant.
I am the morning star.
Ash and feathers raining down
Upon your brave new start.
