lyrics

I (Adagio)
Days begin
Light falls in
We are not alone
Spring again
Flowers bend
‘Til their seeds are sown

(refrain)
Caught on a cloud
Wond’rin which way to go
to get to the ground
They’re tryin’ to reach ground

Days goes by
You and I
How long must we roam
Seasons fly
Night birds cry
On a journey home

Caught in a cloud
Wondering which way to go
to get to the ground
We’re tryin’ to reach ground


II (Allegro)
Came home from school my ma was not at home
Went by your house then called you on the phone
You were out high stepping with some other guy
Dancin’ in the street you know your shoes don’t lie

(Chorus)
Or wasn’t it you—only a dream again
Suddenly blue Got to get a grip—again---

[Chorus]
Meet you down town about a half past four
Buy you somethin’ pretty then we’ll see a show
Keep you all night make your daddy mad
Show me better lovin’ than your boyfriends had
(Break) (2nd time)----grip again---grip again
You know I like to take you drivin’ when the stars are out
Open all the windows let the music shout
Way out in the country and we’ll park the car
Walkin’ to the river cuz it ain’t too far-----------

Take you back home in the mornin’ to a brand new dawn
Sneakin’ through the backyard with the sprinklers on
In the side gate to your bedroom door
One last kiss I’ll be back for more
One last kiss I’ll be back for more
One last kiss I’ll be back for more




III (Andante)
Happy when we wake up put the coffee on
Do some morning pages and water the lawn
This will be my gift to you
To stick around and see it through

Any time you want me call out the back door
Livin in nature is a fine thing for sure
You will be a gift to me
We got all we need to be
