great big birds
standing out on the lawn
what are they doing here
they weren't here at dawn
great big clouds
full of big black rain
what are they doing here
trying to drive me insane
and it wasn't like this when the sun burnt through
yesterday afternoon
there was something noticeably different in the air
you still hadn't taken all your luggage there
great big signs
splashed across the sky
what are they doing here
getting in my eye
great big holes
on the driveways surface
what are they doing here
give it your best guess

it rained all night on the runway
and the runway turned to ice
you were worried that the track would be too fast
and that you'd fly out of sight
on the first practice jump you sped down
and flew gracefully into the air
and you smashed the course record
but you didn't really care
the audience got febrile
the buzz of the crowd was tangible
people from all the local villages
came til the venue was completely full
the second jump you attempted
would have been longer than the first
but you pulled up at the last minute
and tumbled into the earth
you were furious at the officials
the landing strip was too short
if you'd flown as far as you knew you could
you'd have flown into the billboards
when you fly it feels so good
on perfectly handcrafted skis
you're out of the prison of competition
and for a second you're truly free

Abide With Me

abide with me
fast falls the eventide
the darkness deepens, lord with me abide
when other helpers fail, and comforts flee
help of the helpless, lord abide with me
swift to its close
ebbs out life's little day
earth's joys grow dim
its glories pass away
change and decay in all around i see
o thou who changest not,
abide with me.
