Defying Gravity Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

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.
