Until I Learn How To Fly

I’d like to start at the beginning
when the world was turning slow
Little Medicine Creek is rolling easy
through summer fields of green and gold

I can see you running barefoot mama
dancing down the hill
along the fencerow where
the garden is growing
with the blackbird and the whippoorwill

it’s such a bittersweet farewell for now
and since I don’t know how to say goodbye
I’ll just keep on kicking this stone down the road
until I learn how to fly

have we not been here forever
have we not seen everything
every footstep so familiar to me
are you changing skies on a bluebird’s wing

What I would not give for one more day
or to see through those hazel eyes
from above the sky
before the stars
fade away

I’ve been dreaming about a Catherine wheel
lighting up the night
diamond sparks in a ribbon of smoke
disappearing in a ring of fire

it’s such a bittersweet farewell for now
and since I don’t know how to say goodbye
I’ll just keep on kicking this stone down the road
until I learn how to fly
until I learn how to fly
