My Dear - The Tallest Man On Earth

My body’s in the summer storm

And my mind is with the feeling after

Old memories I can’t let go

I’m moving on but they run faster

My morning is empty and the streets are wide

I look for nothing and I feel all right

Stillness in the ways I try

And then you walk on by

My body says the water’s cold

But my mind will have a way to cross it

And I know I held the time so dear

And the feeling it was here, I lost it

My morning is empty and the streets are wide

I look for nothing and I feel all right

Stillness in the ways I try

And then you walk on by

In a patch in the forest

Little bells hang from the tree

And I ring them so gently

What if you heard me now, my dear?

My body’s with the birds in me

But my mind is with the times they’re leaving

I want them but I let them go

There’s a sparkle in the dust I breathe in

My morning is empty and the streets are wide

I look for nothing and I feel all right

Stillness in the ways I try

And then you walk on by

My morning is empty and the streets are wide

I look for nothing and I feel all right, oh

Stillness in the ways I try

As I lean into the morning light

It’s like my body’s in some other town

And then you walk on by
