Dar Williams - Playing to The Firmament lyrics

rate me

There are kidslots of kidswho put the law inside a circle

As they jumpI hope that you will up and downup and down

When did you cave into this role that you were cast in

When did dress-up turn to fashionthrow your gown up and down

There's always the skylet it hear what you're saying

For all that you are saying

And let it take you apartto the elements of praying

Til we are only playing to the firmament

Til we are only playing to the firmament

In the rainin the rainpeople rush around on cold streets

Here's a shell to hear their heartbeats very loudvery loud

Where's the painit's only rainit's only slowing down a work day

Only singing happy birthday to a crowdvery loud

So turn on the skylet it hear what you're saying

For all that you are saying

And let it take you apartto the elements of praying

Til we are only playing to the firmament

Til we are only playing to the firmament

And when did sex get so meanwhen did crime get so clean

You know I just can't seem to find the soul in this striving

Why not play to a dreamcause the world is too green

For all this bad driving

What's the rushdip your brush into this twilight

There are leaves upon the skylighttrace your handtrace your hand

Mr. edhe shot aheadhe shot ahead inside a circle

On a bad daywho would you killtake a standtrace your hand

There's always the skylet it hear what you're saying

For all that you are saying

Let it take you apart to the elements of praying

Til we are only playing to the firmament

Til we are only playing to the firmament
