by Joe Davis and Jocelyn Scott
Your life and my life are
Tangled up in a silken cord
It holds us together
Tied by my hands and yours
You are my gravity
Reality
Without you, my world might
Come apart at the daily seams
You keep me from drowning
In an ambient dream
And it worked that way
‘Til yesterday
Are you keeping me grounded
Or holding me down
Either way, yesterday
When you were not around
I came untethered
In the moonlight
What a fine night
To let go and wander wherever
The moment lifts me
Explore a mystery
Or spend an hour staring at the sky
Oh, I missed you asking why
But I will say that I
Didn’t mind
Being untethered
I move you to laughter
You remind me of simple things
Connect me, secure me
And the daydream I sing
But you’re not free to sing with me
Are you holding me steady
Or binding my wings
Either way, yesterday
While you were traveling
I came untethered
In the moonlight
What a fine night
To let go and wander wherever
The moment lifts me
Explore a mystery
Or spend an hour staring at the sky
Oh, I missed you asking why
But I will say that I
Didn’t mind
Being untethered
You are my anchor to this real world
My unembellished prose
But could I stand if I were on my own
Who knows
I came untethered
In the moonlight
Ohhhh…
instrumental interlude
Oh, I missed you asking why
But I will say that I
Didn’t mind
Being untethered
