I. The Sun

See me wave my handkerchief on the shore See my arm raised high See that ship sail off with its sails aloft And see me dry my eyes And see more salty tears flow As my house is blown wide And see me watch the waves rolling from somewhere See my squint my eyes See me learn to live without my loved ones See me scan the skies And see the flock of birds goodbye And turn to go inside But I feel you on my neck You are a ball of fire See me reach up See me touch my neck See my fingers recoil See the life come back into my body See me living wide And see me look from side to side And tiptoe in your light See me look at you and lose my sight And when my eyes burned I saw it Oh no Here comes a black ship rising under red sail See it fill the sky See it billow up See their gleaming eyes Hear their scary trumpets on See me run in terror for the mountain See me scramble high And see me burned and blind And all hopeless and barren See me sprawled out See me crawl and whine See me search for signs And I see you weird and high You are a ball You are a ball of fire You are a ball of fire
