If I was a seagull, high and aloof I'd sail to your house and perch on your roof But I ain't a seagull, you know my name And the winds blow fortune, winds blow pain And so it goes, nobody knows How to get to the sky How to get to the sky If I was a puppy dog in the early dawn I'd make it to your house, sleep on your lawn But I ain't a puppy dog, you know my name And the winds blowin' fortune, the winds blow pain And so it goes, nobody knows How to get to the sky How to get to the sky How to get to the sky How to get to the sky

I crowned the same old passing of time Gave the golden sceptre though it was never really mine He made the days all pass me by In such idyllic swiftness, he didn't even try And so it goes, the stillness covers my ears Tenderly, until all sound disappears Now it shows, while wind is swinging the trees Vigorously Well, it has stopped to move me I praised the same old spending of time Slept on the whitest beaches in the calmest of nights They held me chained and captive so I Could never join the sea in its ever changing tides If I'm to let it in It might just stay forever If I'm to welcome him We might just stay together The crown remains, it's always been mine I ought to wear it better, I ought to know it now And so it goes, the stillness covers my ears Tenderly, until all sound disappears Now it shows, while wind is swinging the trees Vigorously Well, it has stopped to move me

I lack the colors Reflected in your eyes When you look up to the sky To me they don't seem to appear And I didn't cry For that flamingo stuck in salt Didn't care for it at all While you, you couldn't hold your tears Your fascination Has always fascinated me You make it harder to believe That I was ever really here I try not to understand Just try not to understand For I've seen enough To know where I belong And you can't prove me wrong, no Those modest sayings That mean so much to you With me they've never gotten through I've always needed bigger words But none of your colors Can be found within the lines Of the pages I made mine And the more we drift apart The more they start to blur I tried not to understand Just tried not to understand I've seen enough To know where I belong And there you prove me wrong For when I recall All the nights that we have lost Waking in your love I cry I cry
