Demonstrations One through Three

by The Walla Recovery

I’m not sure where you flew off to when we saw you flying free. I heard it’s a long way off, but worth the walk if you can see. I heard they have a softer bed to welcome you at night. And when you’re woken gently by the sun, you feel you’ll be alright. I could tremble now just to think I know what it looks like there with the stars below. When the angels sing, is listening allowed? I get carried away. I get lost in you. I’m in love with everything you say and do. You’re so beautiful! I heard the view of the sea from there would steal your breath at sunrise to keep your mind away from anything that makes you want to cry. I heard the leaves change color to brilliance in the fall, and that somehow helps you to forget you ever cried at all. If I concentrate, can I see you there tasting brokenness, smelling every prayer? When the angels dance for you next can I see? You invite me there into mystery, into everything that could awaken me. It’s so unthinkable… And I get carried away. I get lost in you. I fall in love with everything you say and do. You’re so beautiful! I hope right now you hear my words travel through the dark. I hope you feel me try to catch on fire and throw me down a spark. I hope you find me spending all to find you in the night, and a window to your beauty opens up and gives me light. You’re so beautiful. You’re so beautiful.

Long Road 04:37
Another dark drive home. Another night alone. Another rediscovery that I don’t need a phone. Another cloudy you. Another rainy view. Another fading dream of mine that won’t ever come true. And my eyes find no sleep tonight, though they search until the morning sun burns bright. And my heart finds no help to remedy this pain from being alone. It’s been a long road alone. I’ll try not to be lonely and I’ll try to keep a smile. But if you’d come along – if not for the journey, then just to rest my feet a while – I may endure… Another well run dry. Another do or die. Another circumstance that rips away my will to fight. Another try my best. Another nightmare rest. Another wake-up puts me back into the same old mess. In my mind I imagine me waking to your light; it covers everything. So tonight, I will look for you in the sky… Rescue me! It’s been a long road alone. I’ll try not to be lonely and I’ll try to keep a smile. but if you’d come along – if not for the journey, then just to rest my feet a while – I may endure another mile.

Trains 04:33
One more look in the rear-view. Pull in and shift into park. Trembling hands take the keys, and alone I step out of the car. My thoughts blow away in the slightest breeze. The sound of your voice brings me down to my knees. If my heart is locked up, then who holds the keys? It’s you. Now pretend I’m not hearing storm clouds that call me by name, raising questions of frailty. And now it’s starting to rain! Accusations like downpour drenching my body, my mind. Seeing all that I wanted patiently wait where I left it behind! The thunder is rolling; the sky’s turning black. And you linger here like a ghost on the tracks. And I told myself I’d never come back to you… Take me away from here! Take me wherever you want! Cause I know now my everything’s right where you are. I can’t breathe when I see you; I can’t speak when I see your face! So tell me now nothing can take me away from you.
