I Am Collapsing so Slowly - Royal Canoe

Wipe away all signs of wear

Will these be the good years?

It’s in the clouds coursing with water

Waiting to come down

Dreaming itself soaking the ground

No, I am not too far away

lam not too far away

lam not too far away

Am I not too far away?

I am not too far away

lam not too far away

Am I not too far away?

I am not too far away

Hanging low, the steady little evening star

Still shining in the morning

It’s in the leaves that nurse on the branches

How do they let go?

Waltzing the air, holding a pose

I am collapsing so slowly

You’ll never see me falling

I catch myself looking down

My hands, they brace for the ground

No rush of air, no tilted sky

Just standing still, wondering if I’ve arrived

Or am I too far away?

I’m not too far away
