from The Nightshift Watchman

..............................................
|
|
Clear blue sky
|
Looking through my father's eyes
|
Way up high
|
A diamond made of nylon flies
|
|
Out of a fishing reel
|
the string is drawn
|
fishing for dreams up there
|
and songs
|
|
That's why I'm laughing
|
|
Last time I held this line
|
the pull was strong
|
could it be that much time
|
has gone?
|
|
Chorus
|
|
That's why I'm laughing
|
That's why I'm laughing
|
That's why I'm laughing.....now
|
|
Years gone by
|
Looking at my father smile
|
Way up high
|
The kite he made could really fly
|
|
Quick as a box-kite wind
|
The time can be
|
Leaving the kite he made
|
For me
|
|
That's why I'm laughing
|
|
'Cause even with all this change
|
And time between
|
You can be here, so clear
|
With me
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Feeling the pull so strong
|
And far away
|
Knowing that dreams still fly
|
Today
|
|
Chorus
|
