Airscape

And in the element of light

The sun reflected from the waves

Inshore it spangles



The child of air is borne upon the wind that blows across the sea



And in the element of summer

The cliffs suspended in the heat

The air in columns



The tiny figures of the world are walking

Underneath your feet

And underneath your hair



Where angels wander

I'll wander too

Where angels wander -- over you

And in the element of darkness

The starlight shimmers on the spray

And falls towards you



Your perfect lover's never there

And if she was, she wouldn't be -- and neither, though, would you



Save your illusions

For someone else

Save your illusions

For yourself



Element



And in the element of laughter

The quick explosion and the slow

Release of heat, you



The tide recedes upon the bones of something beautiful and drowned

In coral and in jade



Where angels hover

I'll hover too

Where angels hover -- over you

Over you

Over you
