I am folding like a kite that’s lost the wind
I’m holding to the remnant of these sins
To a vast goodbye, and a small hello
I am folding, folding slow

I’m staring at the parting of the waves
At the grandeur and carnage of these days
I know my place, it is all I know
I am folding, folding slow

I’ve been pleading to a God I cannot find
But ours is not to bargain with the Divine
And faith is such a tenuous thing to hold
See it fade, now watch me fold

And the day won’t let it be, won’t give no rest
But no one’s gonna know this from my face
Though I defy, the steady flow
I am folding, folding slow

I surrender to the promise of this day
Of a morning that would tearless be
My Hiraeth, my Yosemite
I am folding, please stay with me

I am folding like a kite that’s lost the wind
I’m holding to the remnant of these sins
To a vast goodbye, and a small hello
Folding, folding slow
I am folding, folding slow
