Thank You Light - Florist

Thank you for the light

There’s summer in your hands

I put down my head and see the shadow of a cloud

And after all the seasons, I am ready to lie down

Look at what I found, there’s sound inside me, but I am not that loud

Cut apart my living body and put it in your arms

Then take me to the creek that runs behind my yard

And after all that running I’ll be ready to float down

Thank you for the light

There’s summer in your hands

When I lay down my head and the dark around me yells

I’ll celebrate the mornings like the light would never come

Alone, in a sea of what I truly know

Of red and yellow and gold

Of the blue that always takes me home

The light I lose that loves me even though

I bring the dark when I can’t feel that I am warm

And I look inside just to see that there’s nothing more

But there’s blue in the stars even though I’ll never go

Past the window, past the water, past the sunroof in a car

Past the eyes inside my skull that will surely show me love
