pondering lyrics

You may have noticed that I'm a wee bit obsessed with Sandra McCracken these days. I'll venture a bet - if you like reading what I have to say, then you'll love what she has to say. Go download Feast or Fallow and Red Balloon (2 albums) as soon as you have $20 to spare. You won't regret it. Very little of her stuff is on youtube so you can't cheat - but take the plunge, pay the money - it's worth it. I've had her on "repeat" for days now and it keeps getting better.

This song sounds like she's been eaves-dropping in my prayer closet for the past several months....

Big Blue Sky (from Red Balloon)

All of the walls in the rooms of the house
Are the usual shape and size
I'm just a person who can't be for certain that I'm gonna fit inside
Oh, I've been tryin' and tryin' but it makes me tired.

So I went to the circus and pulled back the curtains
Thought maybe I'd find some room
But all of the clowns and the elephant sounds disappear like a red balloon
Oh, I wonder if I could ever tell lies from the truth.

You are the water
I am an iceberg
Under a big blue sky

All of the people are lined up and labeled
Like cans at the grocery store
But still we are waiting and watching and making and wanting and taking more.
Oh, I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

You are the water
I am an iceberg
Under a big blue sky

You are the water
I am an iceberg
Under a big blue sky
