Across the Sky

High quality WAV, 64 bit.

If I take my hand and reach out skyward
would stars fall into my palm laid out and bare?
If I raise my arm and stretch out
Maybe the comets will come from somewhere out there

If I take my hand and reach out
The bars of the ladder would multiply farther from me
If I raise my arm and stretch out
The stars seem to fade into dots I barely can see

Chasing the pillars of light
The ones that you caught long ago
Shining vivid and bright
But a faded speck of dust in my palm
The glow dying out
Became nothing -
Nothing left at all...

In a far-off moment
In the center of night
When the flame that burned for you
Might spare a shard for me
The embers flying outward
Lighting sparks in my dream

Showering, showering far away, again
It scatters and scatters in broken pieces abound
The vanishing, vanishing thoughts you held so dearly
Were withered to a small little sound

So I breathe and I take my hand and reach out
The bars of the ladder are stretching away from my reach
And I take my hand and stretch out
And hope to arrive at the place I know you'll be

Dissolving into glitter
That shimmers into the air
The powdered light that falls like rain from the sky
I run on the horizon
I catch the embers sparking
Like fireflies in the midst of the night

The fluttering fluttering rays
That pierce through the skylit clouds
Lighting up the night and day
With all the sparks spreading out
As it floats farther away
Within the widening space
My outstretched palm can no longer extend anymore

Fragments left in the air
Forming lines left behind
All the particles bare
And the glare left in sight
Melding shimmers and stars
For a trace in my palm
Multicolored in prisms and mirrors

The fluttering fluttering rays
Piercing through the skylit clouds
Lighting up night and day
With the sparks spreading out
It floats farther away
Within the widening space
Pushing further, my fingers press further and on

Fragments left in the air
Forming lines left behind
All the particles bare
And the glare left in sight
Melding shimmers and stars
For a trace in my palm
Something glimmers and gleams in the dark
If it all disappears
If it all fades away
Through the blood and the tears
And the words I can't say
Let this spark stay behind
Let these thoughts stay in mind
Let at least one last piece remain solid forevermore--

(If I take my hand and reach out
The bars of the ladder would multiply farther from me
If I raise my arm and stretch out
The stars seem to fade into dots that I barely can see

When I take my hand and reach out
I grasp onto pieces you left behind waiting for me
And I raise my arm and stretch out
And something that seems to take shape slowly comes to be seen...)
