In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
when you were young
you were the king of carrot flowers
and how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
in holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
and your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
and your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
as we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
and this is the room
one afternoon I knew I could love you
and from above you how I sank into your soul
into that secret place where no one dares to go
and your mom would sink until she was no longer speaking
and dad would dream of all the different ways to die
each one a little more than he could dare to try
I love you Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ I love you
yes I do
and on the lazy days
the dogs dissolve and drain away
the world it goes
and all awaits
the day we are awaiting
what a beautiful face
I have found in this place
that is circling all round the sun
what a beautiful dream
that could flash on the screen
in a blink of an eye and be gone from me
soft and sweet
let me hold it close and keep it here with me
and one day we will die
and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
but for now we are young
let us lay in the sun
and count every beautiful thing we can see
love to be
in the arms of all I'm keeping here with me
Anna's ghost all around
hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
soft and sweet
how the notes all bend and reach above the trees
now how I remember you
how I would push my fingers through
your mouth to make those muscles move
that made your voice so smooth and sweet
and now we keep where we don't know
all secrets sleep in winter clothes
with one you loved so long ago
now he don't even know his name
what a beautiful face
I have found in this place
that is circling all round the sun
and when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
Wow.
