Folding

I am folding like a kite that’s lost the wind

I’m holding to the remnant of these sins

To a vast goodbye, and a small hello

I am folding, folding slow

I’m staring at the parting of the waves

At the grandeur and carnage of these days

I know my place, it is all I know

I am folding, folding slow

I’ve been pleading to a God I cannot find

But ours is not to bargain with the Divine

And faith is such a tenuous thing to hold

See it fade, now watch me fold

And the day won’t let it be, won’t give no rest

But no one’s gonna know this from my face

Though I defy, the steady flow

I am folding, folding slow

I surrender to the promise of this day

Of a morning that would tearless be

My Hiraeth, my Yosemite

I am folding, please stay with me

I am folding like a kite that’s lost the wind

I’m holding to the remnant of these sins

To a vast goodbye, and a small hello

Folding, folding slow

I am folding, folding slow
