Mary Magdalene in the Great Sky Lyrics
Moths burn on the porch light tonight and every night
We hear them fall like cotton balls
Meanwhile there's a ripe berry moon above
They go for the nearer, easy glow
And isn't that something like you and me?
Isn't that something like you and me?
St Mary let your long red hair fall down to us all
We'd love to hear you laugh again, climb up
St Mary let your long red hair fall down to us all
We'd love to hear you sing again, climb, climb up
Climb, climb up, climb up
In the great sky
There are no lower lights
There are no lesser lights
There are no little lights
If you can make it past your own guards tonight
Close your eyes, be still, fall in, just trust me on this
'Cause isn't that something like what you want?
Isn't that something like what you want?
St Mary let your long red hair fall down to us all
We'd love to hear you sing again, climb, climb up
Climb, climb up, climb up
In the great sky there are
There are no lower lights
There are no lesser lights
There are no little lights
In the great sky there are
There are no lower lights
There are no lesser lights
There are no little lights
There are no, there are no
There are no, there are no
In the great sky
There are no, there are no
There are no, there are no
There are no, there are no, no
In the great sky
Moths burn on the porch light tonight and every night
Isn't that something?
We hear them fall like cotton balls
Meanwhile there's a ripe berry moon above
They go for the nearer, easy glow
Isn't that something like you and me?
We'd love to hear you laugh again, climb up
St Mary let your long red hair fall down to us all
We'd love to hear you sing again, climb, climb up
Climb, climb up, climb up
There are no lower lights
There are no lesser lights
There are no little lights
Close your eyes, be still, fall in, just trust me on this
'Cause isn't that something like what you want?
Isn't that something like what you want?
We'd love to hear you sing again, climb, climb up
Climb, climb up, climb up
There are no lower lights
There are no lesser lights
There are no little lights
There are no lower lights
There are no lesser lights
There are no little lights
There are no, there are no
There are no, there are no
There are no, there are no
In the great sky
Isn't that something?

From Tanya's Bandcamp: "There's a lot I could say about this song, but it would be long and rambling, with many footnotes and apologies. So, it's about MM and her mythology, and the voices in history that are heard in spite of being edited. (You just have to be really, really quiet to hear them.) It's also about lost chapters in personal histories. Plus: moths, hair, lights."
