lyrics

We wrote those fifteen words,
A poem only known by the sky and the birds,
And I’d like to see that page.
I’d like to see that page—
Do you have it still?

And I’ve been roaming the land
With the drunks and the devils and the dust and the sand,
But I’d rather come on back.
I’d rather come on back—
Are you still around?

And I’d like to rise up skyward
And then tilt back toward our past.
Are the castles overrun with trees?
Are the roads all grown with grass?
Where is our map?

I found a magic lamp,
And I wished for three wishes,
None of which he could grant,
‘Cause they all involved your heart.
They all involved your heart,
And it’s the dizzy wind.

I still hear that somber song,
Weaving through the evening like the fog on a lawn,
But is it coming up from you?
Is it coming up from you
Or is it just my head?

And I’d like to rise up skyward
And then tilt out toward the sea.
If I can see clean over, will you catch a glimpse of me?
Oh, who can that be?

And I’ll float into your soul
Just like a monarch in a tree—
I’ll wrap myself in glances
And I’ll rattle with your leaves
When you think of me.
Oh, do you think of me?

And I’d like to sidle up to you,
And just rest my eyes awhile.
I’ve been so long a-wanderin’,
And it’s left me awful tired.
I get so awful tired.
