My hopes for you and me
are very worldly
wheel of fortune
roll on this property

and touch all that i can see
beyond the boundaries
earthsong and in between
heaven and underneath

i’m still a child at heart
playing my childish part
laughing through the light
crying through the dark

i’m never just your girl
i belong to the world
and sometimes i feel that pull
succumb to it and start to twirl

and doorways will have to do
hallways and mirrors too
step through, i’m feeling free
from this landlocked modernity

mary, i know it’s thee
folk mother pouring tea
safe and sitting on the seed
from gates and his misery

now i don’t like to name names
names are small, and names are games
and forces gain good ground
when light moves at the speed of sound
when light moves at the speed of sound
