The sky's been saying "you've been lookin blue"
well i said to him "ya man, so are you"
he quickly changed from blue to grey
and hasn't looked at me since that day (now it rains and rains and rains and rains)

i met a girl who wasn't there
got all tangled in her dirty hair
at night we'd hang by trains and tracks
watched with envy as they passed
passed
passed

then flies they came but bearing news
said "kid put on your sunday shoes...
but leave your old clothes by the door
you won't need them anymore (no i swear i will keep you warm)

i met a boy made of leaves oh well he'd dance if he felt a breeze
you know he looked just like me
will someone please bring me gasoline

do you wanna know just where we're gonna go when the winds all start to blow and our songs carry us away?

i filled up all my pockets with stones the bread went stale so long ago still i'm afraid i've lost my way home i'm afraid i may have lost my way
