Waiting for the Sky to Fall - Matraca Berg

There’s a firefly in love with a distant star

Looking longingly up through the atmosphere

Tiny beacon flies, finds his wings too soon

I watch him make his way, blinded by the moon

I want to believe that the wind would know where to take me

I want to believe that a dream could get me by

But I’m just waiting here for you

Waiting for the sky to fall

You’re far away, on the edge of the universe

A galaxy swirling across the room

Tell me, is it cold out there?

Is there air for me?

Would you even care if I could not breathe?

I want to believe that the wind would know where to take me

I want to believe that a dream could get me by

But I’m just waiting here for you

Waiting for the sky to fall

The laws of gravity cannot tie down my soul

How long can I hold on before I let you go

I want to believe that the wind would know where to take me

I want to believe that a dream could get me by

But I’m just waiting here for you

Waiting for the sky to fall
