my dear

The Tallest Man On Earth

My body s in the summer storm
And my mind is with the feeling after
Old memories I can t let go
I m moving on but they run faster

My morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right
Stillness in the ways I try
And then you walk on by

My body says the water s cold
But my mind will have a way to cross it
And I know I held the time so dear
And the feeling it was here, I lost it

My morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right
Stillness in the ways I try
And then you walk on by

In a patch in the forest
Little bells hang from the tree
And I ring them so gently
What if you heard me now, my dear?

My body s with the birds in me
But my mind is with the times they re leaving
I want them but I let them go
There s a sparkle in the dust I breathe in

My morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right
Stillness in the ways I try
And then you walk on by
My morning is empty and the streets are wide
I look for nothing and I feel all right, oh
Stillness in the ways I try
As I lean into the morning light
It s like my body s in some other town
And then you walk on by
