Title: the line in Smile?

from our sit:

Quote

Gravity, is not pulling me
I won't be a picture with no sign
Decaying, I'm praying
You are my abbot
I need the ground to kneel upon
And love can't be a song
I don't want to see you smile

But what I heard is

Quote

You are my air, but

Air  <--->  Ground
 
looks nice to me...

Well, I'm not a native speaker...I noticed that just because I don't know what is an abbot?

what do you think?

An abbot is a religious figure, the superior of an abbey of monks, but your line is a lot nicer.

I'll give it a listen tonight and see what I hear.

update: heh - well I'm a bit late but I agree, the change is up.
