lyrics

Below my head of steam
there is a reason.
There is an engine running mean.
It runs through the hilltops,
straight through to the plains.
Never-ending billows through sunshine and rain.

Up here in the clouds,
it looks like a snake.
Looks like an earthworm,
goes at a snail’s pace.

Then you see a feather playing in the cloud.
Feels like relaxation, not hurried or loud.
Fast as a propeller, making no sound.
At least, she’s a messenger,
flying the world around.

So there’s this thing.
A bird on the wing
flying through my head of steam.

So I can sing
of birds on the wing.
All I care to do
till winter turns spring.
