(P. Kantner)
|
If you were a bird and you lived very high,
|
knew even the wind as the breeze came by,
|
say to the wind as it took you away,
|
That's where I wanted to go today"
|
And I do know that I need to have you around
|
Love like a mountain springtime,
|
flashing through the rivers of my mind;
|
it's what I feel for you.
|
You and me go walking south
|
And we see all the world around us,
|
The colors blind my eyes and my mind to all but you,
|
And I do know that I need to have you around,
|
And I do, I do know that I need to have you around.
|
I have a house where I can go
|
When there's too many people around me;
|
I can sit and watch all the people
|
Down below goin' by me;
|
Halfway down the stair is a stair
|
Where I sit and think about you and me;
|
But I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin'
|
Will the moon still hang in the sky when I die,
|
When I die, when I'm high, when I die?
|
If you were a cloud and you sailed up there,
|
You sail on water as blue as air,
|
You'd see me here in the fields and say,
|
"Doesn't the sky look green today?"
