From the recording Transparent

Lyrics

As formless as fire
Transparent as glass
As warm as the summer sun
And soft as the grass

There’s California
In a frame by my bed
But there’s nothing but cotton
Where I lay my head

It’s a long way to heaven
And it’s hard to see clear through the rain
But I’m following the angels
And I know that I’ll get there some day

I’m looking for something
To keep me alive
I’ve felt the heartache
And I’ve told the lies

But maybe I’m missing
The point of this game
If you take the first step
Then I’ll do the same

It’s a long way to heaven
And it’s hard to see clear through the rain
But I’m following the angels
And I know that I’ll get there some day

All these tears are forgiven
All this water runs clean
I can breathe
I can see
I can love
I can be
Anything
I want to be

It’s a long way to heaven
And it’s hard to see clear through the rain
But I’m following the angels
And I know that I’ll get there some day
