Sky Above Clouds

Lyrics

when the desert wind howls at my door
it turns a cloud ceiling into a floor
then the prism light reflects plexiglass
that I can walk upon easily as grass

I can fly where the winds don't blow
I can rise above doubts
here I stand with the earth below
in the sky above clouds

outstretched hands reach for a setting sun
keep it from sinking above the horizon
if you want to travel take one of the lifts
from the houses of many windows built upon the cliffs

I can fly where the winds don't blow
I can rise above doubts
here I stand with the earth below
in the sky above clouds

I see skulls floating
calla lillies too
iris and amaryllis
pass before my view
mixing a palette burnt umber and maize
capturing our summer of coxcombing days

I can fly where the winds don't blow
I can rise above doubts
here I stand with the earth below
in the sky above clouds

in the sky above clouds
in the sky above clouds
in the sky above

oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
