lyrics

Permission to Pass

I gave away my weight
I panicked I got lost in the antics
I placed a hand on your shoulder
and with the other hand I waved:

goodbye cruel clay
Goodbye

Back in our room in my mind --
I struck a long match against the box;
the long paper box that you gave me,
with its pictures of balloons on both sides.

Goodbye cruel clay.
Goodbye!


Today I put a cloud in a bag --
and I sent all grief to flight --
All failure to flight --
aging to flight
Sleep to flight

I no longer ask
permission to pass overhead
while I’m flying.

I gave away my weight
I panicked I got lost in the antics
And I no longer ask
permission to pass overhead
And I am never coming back
