Watch Me Get Married - Bill Callahan

The stars are blue around me, that much I can see

Like distant members of my distant twinkling blue family

Watching me get married to the immensity

The orchid in the canyon is the one for me

As the lion returned to the family crest

The shepherd took off his sheepskin vest

And the children came pouring and pouring out of my chest

Oh, all of the lives I had carried

Just staggered me, staggered me, staggered me

How joyous to know

What we knew was out there wanting to

Finally came home

Let’s a spend a light year together

Oh, I know it’s a distance from here to the stars

Watching us get married to the immensity

The orchid in the canyon is the one for me
