From the vault in the sky,
See the water below with my eye,
Want to go down below,
But it's moving so fast to and fro,
So I stay up above with the coyote and dove
And every creature that's found
I cling to the edge with the birds yet to fledge
Until I'm pushed off of the mound
Falling down, down, down
My love gave me twine,
To escape the creature's winding shrine,
But the thread was too bright,
I knew he would find it even in the low light,
And if he found the rope, that was my only hope,
I'd never escape this underground
So I severed the cord, let it fall to the floor,
And wandered round 'til the beast found
And struck me down, down, down
Fear the sun in the sky
Tempting me with it's warmth from on high,
So I glide down below,
Taking it easy, taking it slow
But the mist from the sea, makes my wings heavy,
While I flitter and flutter around;
Only one place to go, to the water below,
Where the weight of these wings makes me drown;
Pulling me down, down, down;
Walk this road for awhile,
To Damascus, to bring them to trial,
A light blinds my eyes,
Hear His voice, it's my name he cries,
My head echoes, and it rings in my soul,
This towering, commanding sound,
But I cannot see to do what's asked of me
So I crumple to a heap on the ground
Lying down, down, down
