Kite Flying

from Kiss The Witch by Boe Huntress

lyrics

There’s an owl, there’s an owl in the backyard
Crying out, crying out in the dark hours
Don’t forget, no don’t forget the soul life
There’s a ghost, there’s a ghost in my ribcage
Breathing out, breathing hungry my heartache
Don’t forget, no don’t forget the soul life
There’s a box in the basement
A bag of faith under the pavement
Can you see, can you see

Wise old owl I’ll follow you, I’ll follow you into the deep
I’ll be kite flying
Wise old owl I’ll follow you I’ll follow you into the sea
I’ll be night riding
Wise old owl won’t you teach me

And the moon, and the moon on the water
Like a web silver thread pulls us all in her whisper
Don’t forget no don’t forget the soul life
And the bed made of wax in the attic where I go
Melt it all in the flame of my mattress
Don’t forget no don’t forget the soul life
There’s a clock in the meadow, a field of time in its shadow
Can you see, can you see

Wise old owl I’ll follow you, I’ll follow you into the deep
I’ll be kite flying
Wise old owl I’ll follow you I’ll follow you into the sea
I’ll be night riding
Wise old owl won’t you teach me

Wisdom is in dreams, not in your books or things
Wisdom is in me, I am a library
