Elevation

I had a couple of sketches of ideas floating around that I merged together and fleshed out to make the music. Then when it came time to come up with some lyrics, I started thinking about an early morning scene and just sort of improvised from there.
________________________________________________________________________________
When the Eastern sky begins to glow
And the blades of grass are glistening with dew
Hear the songs that only the morning birds know
As the goddess of dawn walks beside you
Into the day
And the old growth trees are all tuning in
To a signal sourced from places unknown
And you soar through clouds to elevations
Where you occupy a world of your own
And float away
Come float away, come float away
Come float away, come float away
Air currents flow, they crest and they fall
Brisk eddies whirl then slow to a crawl
And I remember peculiar times
Lost past distant horizons
It seems I've been dead to you most of my life
Except for rare frigid environs
And I know not where the story will go
Every pathway stretches out far and wide
We'll end up where the cold wind chooses to blow
And another soul might float alongside you
In the dawn
