Try Not To Look Down

When the new bridge is done
Will they tear the old one down?
There’s more I need to ask you
Desi, where can you be found?
There’s more I need to ask you

The dust and the papers
Voices- don’t understand
Must in a bottle
Moss in my hands
I want new words- all new sentiment
I’m trying not to look down

Andrew, what did you mean
When you said “I’ll never go away”
While trying hard not to be seen?
Could you be held to your word?
Are you flying underground?
Are you buried in the clouds?

Still a thread between us
Thinner than a human hair
Can’t see the other end
Hanging in thin air
We’ll have to trust that it won’t break
Try not to look down

Ruth, do you have a story for me?
Can we steal some flowers?
Can we… just be ok?
There is nothing that you could tell
That would be too strange
That would close my arms

If they learn your bitter secrets
Do you have to run away?
Make them see what makes you stronger
And through your eyes
If you are recognized
Try not to look down
