Defying Gravity, lyric by Emmylou Harris

from the songs album Quarter Moon In A Ten Cent Town

(jesse winchester)

I live on a big blue ball
I never do dream i may fall
But even the day that i do
I jump off and smile back at you
I don't even know where we are

But they tell us we're circling a star
Well i'll take their word i don't know
But i'm dizzy so maybe that's so

I'm riding a big blue ball
I never do dream i may fall
But even the high may lay row
So when i do fall i'll be glad to go
