ride on glide down hide out my flyweight love, flyweight love
took a train to the stubborn coast off-season towns half-shuttered said hello to the rising breeze made a note of the setting sun we fell asleep in our three-day clothes one tilted head on the other felt a hand like the hand of god heard a voice like a seed of song
ride on...
took a crowd down the avenue to send a senator home right going viral on the handheld screen I’m the diode, you’re the kerosene we’re separate circles in a crowded hall debating this debating that and then another and then the scent of you alighting on my shoulder hey there, oh hi, hey there, oh hi, oh my
out loud, go on and sing it out loud go on and sing it out loud we wanna be a flyweight love, flyweight love
and now the years surprise us how all our times apart have become our vows
took a flight far across the globe found a calling sweet as a lover through the wilderness you find in me you are in love with all the world and in the evening I arise when the sun creeps on your covers here I am here you are breathing a hello my flyweight love, flyweight love
took a train to another coast took our time and the time has flown oh you never have belonged to me or should I say not to me alone
