Emmylou Harris:Defying Gravity Lyrics

A.k.a The Executioner's Song
(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.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm ridin' a big blue ball
I never do dream I may fall
But even the high must lay low
So when I do fall I'll be glad to go.

--- Instrumental to fade ---
