Flying Dream 1

Flying dream one Dead of the night when the prayer group was gone Mum and my sisters all blissful and feathered Candle wick swaddled my golden wee brother Dad's across town tonight fixing the mirror Shaking his head at a richer man's grammar Swerving the creek as I slide to the steps Tighten my dressing gown, mutter and merry Then I lean forward and step into the air Step into the air Like I'm fallen snow Deep in my bones Step into the air Step into the air Fireflies rise Spiralling up 'til we blanket the skies Every neighbourhood sleepy wee dreamers Over the hills at the edge of my knowledge Skimming the breakers deft as a petrol Holcombe and Pendle, Nelson and Cole Follow the landing light guiding me home The house with the stairwell, I step into the air Step into the air Like I'm fallen snow Deep in my bones Step into the air Step into the air Like I'm fallen snow Deep in my bones Step into the air Step into the air
