From the recording Birds Of Relocation (2012)
I write quite a few songs about being lost, or abandonment and loneliness. I wanted something that responded truthfully to the abandoned bicycle in the song "Chrome."
Lyrics
Like a child without reality
Alive within the mirth and mire
I want to lose my sense of gravity
And see with recovering eyes
Children hide themselves behind their hands
And peek through to be found once again
This is the world turning upside down
When the light that was lost is found
Come see the dawn with the darkness refused
Today is yesterday made new
Here I fell on impoverished floor
And came to rest beyond the reach of light
Though the world would not think twice of me
You searched for me in your own peculiar fight
Fathers wait for a long, lost child
Scanning dawn and its bright horizons
This is the world turning upside down
When the light that was lost is found
Come see the dawn with the darkness refused
Today is yesterday made new
This is the world turning upside down
When the light that was lost is found
Come see the dawn with the darkness refused
Today is yesterday made new
