about

for Mary Magdalene

lyrics

She’s a reckoning sweeping softly in
With her hair held up by a mortal pin
She’s a tidal wave, then a little lamb
Then a tree swept sideways, barely standing up
Barely holding up, but hardly looking down on someone else’s luck
Flying always seemed so lonesome anyway
So she’ll come back to earth with words she heard you say

As the day begins with the deepest cut
All the dreams you dreamed, all their setting suns
All the lower backs with their curvature
All the tightly bounded, being sure of nothing
Holding onto something; looking down on someone
‘Cause you had the gumption
Flying always seemed so lonesome anyway
So she’ll come back to earth with words she heard you say
She’s a reckoning with her hands tied up
But she’ll kneel right down and she’ll fill your cup
When it overflows, take that mortal pin
She can mop it up as the day begins
