the sun reflected in the back of my eye.

I knocked my head against the sky.

The dragonflies are busy buzzing me.

A seahorse as if we were in the sea

Half way from coal, half way to diamond.
F

my fall knocked a mean chip out of me.
Bb

gathering as far as I can reach.
Bb

perched up on the precipice and this is what I've seen
Gm
F C
this is all I want, it's all I need.
Gm
F C
this is all I am, it's everything.
Gm
F C
this is all I want, it's all I need
F

a bluejay heckles from the felled Catalpa tree.
F

doctorate in science and the theologians dream.

the dragonflies are trying to lecture me.
Bb

a seahorse as if we were in the sea
Gm
F C
but this is all I want, it's all I need.

this is all I am, it's everything.

this is all I want, it's all I need.

tropical storm across the ocean.

but don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know
Bb

but don't forget we're just halfway from home.

this is all I want, it's all I need.

this is all I am, it's everything.
Gm

this is all I want, it's all I need.
