the sun is bright through white pine
the branches climb
they form a line to fall.
the wind wear windfall
clears a path for me to see.
the damaged day at nighttime.
with nothing left to say.
will you back away?
with so much else to do
there's a confidence in you
and I want it too
won't you stay near me?
the summer heights, the white pine
the wire's high
the tight rope masterful.
the Princeton kids are gone
might it still catch on?
with so much else to do
there's a confidence in you
and I want it too
won't you stay for a while?
will you back away?
or find a place to stay?
