If the wind turns

If I hit a squall

Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me.

I feel lighter than I have in so much time

I've crossed the borderline of weightless

One deep breath out from the sky

I've reached a rarer height now

That I can confirm

All our weight is just a burden

Offered to us by the world

And though I burn

How could I fall?

When I am lifted by every word you say to me.

If anything could fall at all

It's the world that falls away from me.

You have me floating like a feather on the sea

While you're as heavy as the world

That you hold your hands beneath

Once I had wondered

What was holding up the ground

I can see that all along, love

It was you all the way down

Leave it now

I am sky-bound

If you need to, darling

Lean your weight to me.

We'll float away

But if we fall, I only pray

Don't fall away from me.

I do not have wings, love

I never will

Soaring over a world you are carrying

If these heights should bring my fall

Let me be your own

Icarian carrion.

If the wind turns

If I hit a squall

Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me

If I should fall on that day

I only pray

Don't fall away from me.
