Words That Stay

Where did you go? Nobody knew you were gone

Off to a world to which I'll never belong

You can't be strong when there's no gravity

Floating like pollen, you land where you will

Oh, where did you go? Nobody knew you were gone

Though there are many who wrote of you in song

Only the few get to feel far away

Just close enough to hear the words that stay

Oh, another life of yours is over

Know the wood has narrow rings

A secret door is sure to open

And accept your offering

You only dance if it's to gunshots

And you'll move through it with grace

Send me a postcard when you get to

What I hope is the right place

Where did you go? Nobody knew you were gone

I must have drifted off, don't know for how long

Warm winter clothes in the summer heat

The season you lost is the one you seek, oh
