lyrics

I will walk the hillside
up past Ibanez Avenue
search the sounds through the breathing trees and then
wrap them as gifts for you

I'm descending from the clouds for you
I got my feet in the clay
I am drumming out a beat for you to
help you find the way

I will write for you the moonlight
in its crying, silent prayer
songs in tongues I could never know but I'll
sing them all for you

I'll erase each passing face you view
ah you do that to me too
words uttered on a thousand lips are now
falling dead at your shoe

I'm descending from the clouds for you
I got my feet in the clay
I am drumming out a beat for you to
help you find the way
