If you were a bird and you lived very high,

You'd lean on the wind when the breeze came by,


You'd 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' by.


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'd sail on water as blue as air,


You'd see me here in the fields and say,

"Doesn't the sky look green today?"
