i spun in circles
and let my arms fly around me
my skirt puffs out like a pin wheel
after each rotation
i see you spinning next to me
i spin and i spin and i spin
the blurred silhouette of you
fades away
i spin and i spin and i spin
and then i collapse
i look up into the night sky
and it's doing somersaults
the stars are mixing together
and the moon is just a blur
the grass tickles my legs and the sides of my face
i throw my arm out to you
but i just get an armful of grass
i look over
and the ground is spinning
hand in hand with the sky
you're gone
but i keep throwing my arms out to you
and the world won't stop spinning
because you're gone
