TEMPORARY DIVE

I fell down in that hole again

I am a lump of jelly

I am a dead fish



I look up at the blue sky

And I know that it's just

A temporary dive



Sometimes we tip toe

Sometimes we run

Sometimes we wander while

Looking at the sun

Sometimes we tip toe

Sometimes we run

Sometimes we wander while

Looking at the sun



Sitting on the cold dirt floor

I want to finish the counting of days on the walls

I build a ladder from broken wish bones

And square-shaped stones

That my friends threw down in the hole



Sometimes we tip toe

Sometimes we run

Sometimes we wander while

Looking at the sun

Sometimes we tip toe

Sometimes we run

Sometimes we wander while

Looking at the sun



And even though I read maps to avoid them

They change location every day

And somehow all of my traces they vanish

But shall one stay put

Shall one lay low

Shall one not go

Just to avoid this hole



Sometimes we tip toe

Sometimes we run

Sometimes we wander while

Looking at the sun

Sometimes we tip toe

Sometimes we run

Sometimes we wander while

Looking at the sun
