Tonight & The Rest Of My Life

Here's a song I'm particularly fond of right now.... what do the words mean to you? They conjure something very specific to me.

TONIGHT & THE REST OF MY LIFE
Nina Gordon

Down to the earth I fell
With dripping wings
Heavy things wont fly
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world
that's why
I prefer the sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eye

CHORUS:
I feel so light
This is all I wanna feel to night
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life

Gleaming in the dark sea
I'm as light as air
Floating there breathlessly
When the dream dissolves
I open up my eyes
I realize that
Everything is shoreless sea
Weightlessness is passing over me

(Chorus)
Tonight and the rest of my life

Everything is waves and stars
The universe is resting in my arms

I feel
So light
This is all I wanna feel tonight
I feel
So light
Tonight and the rest of my life

(Chorus)
