I heard a puff, I heard a blow I felt the ground, I felt the snow I thought of linen and of lace I never really saw his face I heard a grunt, I heard a moan I felt the sun, I saw the moon I saw the northern light above And the eclipse of the sun I am a breath, I am a wish I am a rocket and a fish I felt his measures and his weight My own body as a scale I heard a whisper in my ear "You are not here, you are not here" I saw the northern light above And the eclipse of the sun My feet was hurt and heals were sore And I wondered why it burned And I wondered why it burned Then I had to climb down I went down to see the sun rise And then I had to climb back up again I had to be there to see the sun rise All the air that you sent to guide me Had a tone of the elephant gray We were all there in the morning We were there and we wanted to stay So quite a lot of what people had heard was right Some was wrong
