you were the Canada
the Canada flier
no one higher
no one kinder
the darkness fell all over you
cigarettes and voices flew
defend me now
defend me then
northern orphan
up in Heaven
the bathtub fell all over you
I could not defend you too

i want to breathe to you 1000 streams of light
so that your heart is satiated
with the purest love of a newborn child
when trust and respect are pieces of me
bequeathed to you without preoccupation of return
or the sad hope that you will love me too
i want to feed to you 1000 waves of sound
and songs from a soul uncovered by darkness
with a new face to finally confront the born world
new hands to strum for your rays of light
or honey, sugar, and nectarines to edify
the construction of us and the future chaotic humble
i want to defecate from you the 1000 years of doubt
the festering blackness left to you before birth
and the moves to and from without your soul
a home never found just searching for warmth
and the men and children and who knows why
the internal cyclone of your wounds circling and circling
i want to see for you 1000 fields
of tobacco, sugarcane, sunflowers, and passion fruit
diving in with my mind and photographing the sounds
of the wind drifting through the valley of your body
the eyes of a lifetime drenching the greenery
the plans of joy running on to the sun
i want to hear for you the wind of a 1000 birds in flight
and take flight with your svelt soul
sailing over the earth and urban soil

i'm miles away and I miss you
i'm looking to escape with you
only with you
i'm miles away and keep flying
through the air and i'm dying
without you
i'm miles from your touch and eyes
i'm lost somewhere in the lonely skies
and if you were warm with me too
we could ascend to the moon
and look down
with big eyes
at the clowns
and their sighs
i'm miles away from your angel smiles
I wont see you again in an ancient mile
and if you were warm with me too
we would laugh all the way june
and wipe tears
or let them drop
for years
until they stop
(miles away from here)
i'm miles away from your beating heart
you knew it right from the start
and if you were warm with me too
our destiny would be in view
focus bright
wide lens
and the light
your heart sends
(miles away from here)
