I Am Collapsing So Slowly

Wipe away all signs of wear
 Will these be the good years?
 It's in the clouds coursing with water
 Waiting to come down
 Dreaming itself soaking the ground
 No, I am not too far away
 lam not too far away
 lam not too far away
 Am I not too far away?
 I am not too far away
 lam not too far away
 Am I not too far away?
 I am not too far away
 Hanging low, the steady little evening star
 Still shining in the morning
 It's in the leaves that nurse on the branches
 How do they let go?
 Waltzing the air, holding a pose
 I am collapsing so slowly
 You'll never see me falling
 I catch myself looking down
 My hands, they brace for the ground
 No rush of air, no tilted sky
 Just standing still, wondering if I've arrived
 Or am I too far away?
 I'm not too far away
