Call Down Stratosphere.


 A... heavenly love song? Hmmm.

Call Down Stratosphere.

There are roads of dirt and stone
And walls of polished rock,
But starlight shines, whatever time
And adorns the numbers on the clock
Though walls and gates may deviate,
The paths I’ll choose to go,
With the wave of my hand, no wall could withstand
When meteor showers swing down low.

I’ll call, call, call,
And whip the wind around,
Send leaves skyward in the fall,
And bring the heavens to the ground.
And with a single sound,
I’ll call the stratosphere down.

One wish out of two, for you, has come true,
But the other is so far
To touch the sky at night as it shines so bright,
A million miles from where you are.
But when you’re with me, just look, you’ll see,
From the tree tops to the ground,
Those starry fireflies will descend from the skies,
When I call the stratosphere down.

I’ll call, call, call,
And whip the wind around,
Send leaves skyward in the fall,
And bring the heavens to the ground.
And with a single sound,
I’ll call the stratosphere down.

There are layers that divide us,
And handles just out of reach,
But the distance blurs and the lines obscure
As waves take the beach.
We’ll stop time on just one line,
And all creatures will share a single sound,
Ceiling to floor will merge with the core,
As I bring the universe down.

The seas will divide as the moon moves the tide
In ways unknown ‘til now.
When the moon flies right by your room,
And I call the stratosphere down.

I’ll call, call, call,
And whip the wind around,
Send leaves skyward in the fall,
And bring the heavens to the ground.
And with a single sound,
I’ll call the stratosphere down.
