Zigzagging Toward the Light

I'm blessed with a heart that doesn't stop

My minds a weathervane it spins around just like a top

Knows what the winds of fortune bring

In the season of the witch

Home is a perjury, a parlor trick, an urban mythOh how the circumstances change

This world is smoke and steam

Compromise and metermaids

I'm going to leave here before to long

Zigzagging toward the light

I'm off to sing my boundless songTrue love it hides like city stars

Nothing to gaze upon or contemplate

How near or far

If it comes, it comes quite unannounced

A momentary glance

Lit up by sun or moon

Or bonfire or ambulanceOh how the circumstances change

Feels unmistakable with no idea from where it came

But you will know it when it's gone

Zigzagging through the night

I've heard you sing your boundless songHow did you sing the boundless song?

How did you sing? How did you sing?

Sing for the founders his word is never kept

A bindle of flowers to state his mind

And bloom when he forgetsIt's true that shadows tell the time

On sunny afternoons, on crowded sidewalks, passersby

I'm in a queue that stretches out

Far as the eye can see

It forms a figure eight and goes on for eternityOh how the circumstances change

I fly by interstate across a purple mountain range

I find a place to come undone

Zigzagging toward you now

I sing out loud our boundless song
