Flying Dream 1 Lyrics

Flying dream one
Dead of the night when the prayer group was gone
Mum and my sisters all blissful and feathered
Candle wick swaddled my golden wee brother
Dad's across town tonight fixing the mirror
Shaking his head at a richer man's grammar
Swerving the creek as I slide to the steps
Tighten my dressing gown, mutter and merry
Then I lean forward and step into the air

Step into the air
Like I'm fallen snow
Deep in my bones
Step into the air
Step into the air

Fireflies rise
Spiralling up 'til we blanket the skies
Every neighbourhood sleepy wee dreamers
Over the hills at the edge of my knowledge
Skimming the breakers deft as a petrol
Holcombe and Pendle, Nelson and Cole
Follow the landing light guiding me home
The house with the stairwell, I step into the air

Step into the air
Like I'm fallen snow
Deep in my bones
Step into the air
Step into the air


Like I'm fallen snow
Deep in my bones
Step into the air
Step into the air
