daedalus rising

		there over there
		has gone
		goes and will go
		the copper sun tarnishes with the year's tears
		the golden golden copper sun
		old
		eldest dead
		over the blue milky sea sky
		loss and lost and losing

		do not weep
		all this is passing
		all the birds wing and fall
		through the heavens
		the cloudy clouds of snow
		of dew and of smoke
		a shuddering reflection vanishing
		with the dropped stone
		oh i wait
		under the spaces
		under the molten
		star rain
		the flashing void of planets
		
		do not weep
		all this is passing
		do not weep
		all this is passing
		so high i could come
		(all this is falling)
		so far i shall fall
		(all this is falling)
		Daedalus broken
		Daedalus falling by the tooth stones
		his shape bends and makes a smiling bow
		he careens and spirals
		down falls falls
		he waves words of farewell
		
		oh do not weep
		all of this passes
		to fail is human
		(do not weep)
		to fall is human
		(all this is passing)
		to hope is human
		do not weep
		as the sound 
		(all this is falling)
		disappears as the rain falls
		(all this is falling)
		as the sky vast as my tears fall
		do not weep
		i shall wait for you
		Daedalus broken
		Daedalus falling
		do not weep
		all this is falling
		do not weep
		all this is falling
		do not weep
		all this is passing
		do not weep
		all this is passing
