Vanish

We had an unseasonably warm December in these parts. I think it was the day before Christmas I took my dogs for a walk and it was pleasant enough outside to wear shorts and a t-shirt. Over the last few days things have gotten colder and windier (still nothing compared to many parts of the world) and I'm okay with that. It's winter and it should be a little chilly out there. Anyway, this song was vaguely inspired by the weather.

It's still weeks until spring
But there's a bluebird warbling
Before long it takes wing
As alarm bells start to ring
I can almost remember
When this world was sparkling
And I know that things would change if I were king
There's a storm on its way
But for now I feel okay
If I could I would stay
Keep my worries far away
And while millions of bright balloons
Float by throughout the day
I know soon enough the sky will turn to gray
And the years hurry past
As if they're in a race
I just need a moment
To vanish without a trace
Closed my eyes tried to sleep
But then I tumbled to the sea
Crawled ashore on my knees
Shivering in the ocean breeze
I tried to take flight again
Into the galaxy
And the shooting star you saw last night was me
