lyrics

Paper
Flower
Paper
Weight

Five strong men strong stock
Pad lock pressure cook
Closed book
All is still till the ground is tilled and
The story takes its windy root
Battles waged along stem and petal
Damsels saved on fragile nettles
You are
Pressed in, pressed out, pressed up, press down
Paper flower, do you lean towards the sun in that world too?

Tiny planets tiny moons
Bull whippoorwill wind
Thick-skinned nonstop
Flip-flop
All’s a’flutter as a whisper’s uttered and
The atoms take their windy route
Sound and heat pass from one to the other like
Beauty transferred to daughter from mother
You are
Pressed in, pressed out, pressed up, pressed down

Your eye has grown cloudy, her vision now clearer
Your gray hair discovers her fair head’s sun nearer
The scars on your hips made the newborn’s sweet yawn
Your life is erased, her full breath is drawn
You place your grace with care into the tree
And the glory takes its windy route

Pressed in (good measure)
Pressed out (shaken)
Pressed up (running over)
Pressed down (poured into you)

It was morning in heaven and we all knew where we were.
