Jacaranda Tree lyrics

Sitting on porches Since Friday while the sky Tilts like a watery glass We wait for downpours A drenching joy A carnival sky But what I don’t say What I can’t say Is that with this joy Comes a mourning Something left behind Blue lined, teary Mingled I move on All things will change We wait for the rain And the promise remains Live life fully Peeking through fingers Slung in our hammocks Cocooned Skimming the water Trapezed above time We glide like slingshot angels Belly up and Floating we see The promise in the sky Up to Orion’s ribs We climb this tree And listen For our pulse All things will change We wait for the rain And the promise remains I flung loosely Into that world I stayed heavily I’ll be a Jacaranda Tree In Indiana I say Greenhoused and sung to I pray light will Leak from out pockets We’ll be drenched, overcome At night the fireflies Streamers at our sides Silent flaming arcs of hope All things will change We wait for the rain And the promise remains
