Let me melt like a stone in the mouth of the sun,

let me breathe
Like a single clear note I would gleam then be gone
Dressed in white like a summertime saint,
I could step off the edge and be done
The only son of an only son

Let me rise like the smoke from a fire in the night
to the stars
'Cross the deserts of space to the islands of light

I could pick one to circle and turn like a ring

out of mind, out of sight

At rest tonight in the restless night
