lyrics

I'd like to be like you
who take tea with lions winged and angels of fire
You who spin the stars, cradling the hills, waking whales beneath the sea,
you who walk the wind

I'd like to be like you
measuring the distance from one hair to the next
Gathering your clouds, the rainy diamonds fall, plumb lines dropped to calculate
the center of the earth

I'd like to be like you
Wind inside the sail
I'd like to be like you
Respite from the gale
I'd like to be like the sun that gilds the sea,
The dead bolt turning key
The pardoned prisoner's plea

I'd like to be like you
Wind inside the sail
I'd like to be like you
Respite from the gale
I'd like to be like the sun that gilds the sea,
The dead bolt turning key
The pardoned prisoner's plea

I'd like to be like you
speaking skies, birds black with downy wing cleave the air
Whistling for the morn, your whisper shakes the earth
The same that balms the reedy bruise, and woos the weary wick,
It's you who spins the stars, who wakes the whales beneath the sea,
it’s you who walks the wind
