Splendor

I'm waiting around on an open day I can hear the city singing far away And I can see the blues Out in the offing I know there's somewhere I'm expected to be But I see the wind is blowing tops of trees And I'm overcome With just unfolding And I laugh at myself Throw my body to the ground Crying at the splendor and the sound Until I feel someone Pulling at my sleeve I know I've gotta go, I know I've gotta leave I'm watching the crowd, they're set in motion A little girl, is talking and talking But I don't know What any of it means Someone's coming in, they want to take me away And I'm looking out, into the living array And then it all makes sense But only like a dream I'm looking around for something to ground me I've got the leaves switching all around me And isn't that the way It is with living I made promises to everyone before But I don't believe in myself anymore And I have no choice But I'm somehow willing I'll bring the feeling back Someday a memory like that could save me From letting go of faith
