No More Carpet Rides

from New Blood In The Sister City by Hello Whirled

/

lyrics

we found you on the roof last night
wearing your bedsheets like a shawl
so the wind could cut every limb you still had on
head to toe in a crystal bind
armband tied around your eyes
pointed toward the blood red sky
it’s a miracle you’re not gone

you were right
you could fly
now it’s time
to get you inside
no more carpet rides

we heard you from a garden shed
made peace with the thorny bed
and they laid to rest a crown
your mind and head
effigy of a greener age
of a northern light for a center stage
and you threw it all in a handsome rage
for all to witness

you were right
you could fly
now it’s time
to get you inside
to see is blind
to hear the light
to know you’re safe
to say good night
no more garden rites
