Ground and Sky

From the album Time's New Romans

Shouldn’t we – be doing something
Shouldn’t we – be somewhere else
How come you just seem to walk it
so much better than I
Head in the sky

Take it down
Take it down – take it all the way down
Take it deeper - dig a hole – take it in

From your ground - Your level camera
You - you take it all in
And you - you just step in barefoot
somewhat easier than I
Head in the sky

You got some – some way of dreaming
It’s here – not a prophecy
How come you can see the kingdom
so much clearer than I
Head in the sky

Bring me back
Falling back - Falling all the way back
Not face first – just flat – on my back

You left the lens cap on – on purpose
It was nothing you say – rest a day
And you – just lean down and kiss me
Find my way around
Down on the ground

Maybe we – are doing something
Maybe we – are somewhere else
the horizon – is right out there
The perfect line
Between ground and sky
