Emerald City
I-90 West to Seattle
Rounding the curve straight into a canyon
Where the Earth briefly cracked open
Let us in on its infrared secret
All sapphire and spilled out
Glimmering like the way you look at me
When no one else can see
When no one else can see
True and blue like the distance of the mountains
On the seam of the sky or the ocean from the airplane
You know the realness of it
But can't ever grasp the infinite depth
Thus rendering that which is right in front of you
Seeing into you and your tiny dreams and intentions
Somehow completely otherworldly
Pure and above it all the plans and the details
The missed opportunities
The voodoo of scheduling
If only the Earth right here right now
Would answer when I ask it
"Why can't I have the things that I'm after?"
I think it might say
"Look up you dummy"
Rounding the curve straight into a canyon
Where the Earth briefly cracked open
Let us in on its infrared secret
All sapphire and spilled out
Glimmering like the way you look at me
When no one else can see
When no one else can see
True and blue like the distance of the mountains
On the seam of the sky or the ocean from the airplane
You know the realness of it
But can't ever grasp the infinite depth
Thus rendering that which is right in front of you
Seeing into you and your tiny dreams and intentions
Somehow completely otherworldly
Pure and above it all the plans and the details
The missed opportunities
The voodoo of scheduling
If only the Earth right here right now
Would answer when I ask it
"Why can't I have the things that I'm after?"
I think it might say
"Look up you dummy"
