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 colours 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?"
