"Flight Paths" lyrics
"Flight Paths"
When your orbit swung in close
And words became knots
When they broke loose in a flood
I was with you then
I am with you now
When the pack escaped
From that deep place
The horizon a blur
Of colour and fur
And legs moved on
Carried on beyond
The bridges reached
Under ceilings so low you had to crawl
I was with you then
I am with you now
Refracted light
Glance from your cuts
From your better sides
Your orbit swung out wide
Before it returned
And daylight congealed
Dances danced
Hands won and lost
I was with you then
I am with you now
When the nets came in
And the map was changed
And the targets moved
And the language lost
I was with you then
I am with you now
I was with you then
I am with you now
