Marathon Girl

I was sitting like a pearl
In the center of the world
In the furrow that runs through everything
You were there but never seen
You were drafting through my dream
From the clouds I could hear you caroling

When I was as thin as a scarecrow
Getting up only to go to bed
Hollywood making a horror movie in my head
I remembered what you said

Hanging out and ripping loud
In your capsule on the cloud
Solo on the celestial carillon
I'm abandoned in the mist
I've a flower in my fist
And I showed up to watch the marathon

Marathon men lives below
Marathon girls in this window wait for me
Hammering hard to the wind with liquid liberty
So powerful and free

I'm gonna send it out to you
All my friends who made it through
And the faces replace the memory
Thanks for sweet and bitter fruit
Cooked in rain and morning dew
For whatever the hell is ahead of me
Jogging downhill as the wind blows
Dog along side and it isn't bad
Someday you're gonna be super super sad
Well letting go's like that

Shy little candles expiring
Fly little flowering thing go far away
Love that I love little loving things so small and brave
'Cause nothing goes to waste
