lyrics

I put my love on rush.
The flowers turned to brush.
I gave them to someone to keep me lonely.
I learned from it in time
a brand new paradigm,
and now I know that I’m my one and only.
Ursa Major, why’d
they chased you to the sky?
“Well here, though I have died, I live forever.
And when the moon is full
or not a moon at all,
come find me where the scrolling stars are tethered.”

And on that golden night,
the lucky saw the light,
the richest and the righteous found religion.
They found it wanting more,
they gave it to the poor
like bread crumbs on the floor to feed the pigeons.
Impatience and regret.
I died in student debt,
and now I think I’ve met the heavenly Father.
I questioned at your shrine,
O Father dear of mine.
You always take your time to give an answer.

Then said the Holy Fool,
“I am an old soul too,
and I have seen the woundedness of ages
and met the Mother Bear
with flowers in her hair,
who loves her children where the hunter rages.”
Ursa Major, I
am looking to your light,
my ghostly friend and guide through love’s abandon.
And here, where there is death,
I will not hold my breath
but trust the wind wherever I am landing.
I’ll trust the wind wherever I am landing.
