From the recording Luxury & Waste
Lyrics
Sliding
Sliding like I’m linen dancing outside your window
Tasting the wild and free
Led by the wind
Dreaming of being wind
Never falling
Sliding
Sliding like l’m cloth soaked in water
Gaining speed from my own weight
Unstoppable
Left by the wind
Dreaming of being wind
Never falling
Two faces looking at this, at me
Their voices laughing at this, with me
Maybe they think it’s a game
Where they’re growing up – win or lose – you’ll be
loved just the same
But how can I tell them that we are all
Sliding
Sliding like a first fumbling tear
seeing the sun before the dam breaks
An endless stream
Faster than wind, dreaming of being wind
Never drying
Never falling
Always flying
