Sidereal Day

from Fade to Buzz by Rule of Thumb

/

lyrics

it’s 7:26, i’ve been awake
quiet, still
disentangle, rise
counting the beans in the grinding mill

i’m afraid of falling
off the face of earth
and being hurtled into space
every day is one more revolution with you

rotate to the midway of the curve
and tarry there
the sweeping of the hands across her face
and through her hair

i have trouble staying on the ground
by myself i’d never get around
every day is one more revolution with you

but your soporific is so terrific
twenty-three, fifty-five and change
sidereal day

i have trouble staying on the ground
high enough, but not to go around

every day is one more revolution with you
