Full of waves and fields
This universe we glide on in misshapen vessels
Afraid of the spray
Just beyond the glass
Fear the scrape of rocks
Just off the path
Just beyond the wall
This route of carved tunnels
To be floating there alone in the water
Would be to be in space alone
Embedded in the stone of the mountain
As in amber
To wrap your arms around the boulder
Because it is the only thing
And the wisest thing around
Lay your cheek on down
Lay your cheek on down
Lay your cheek on down
Lay your cheek on down, down, down
[extra lyrics added in live version]
You said you were a traveler
You said you were the wind
You said you were the first one on the moon
That was only the beginning
You said that you had snuck well past this galaxy
By the time the sun had drawn on our faces
Some bronze image
But I say hey
Lay your cheek on down
Lay your cheek on down
Lay your cheek on down, down, down
Lay your cheek on down
Lay your cheek on down
