"The Ballad Of You & Me & Pooneil" lyrics

[Part I]

If you were a bird and you lived very high
You leaned on the wind as the breeze came by
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
And I do know, 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
Armadillo
Ah
Ah

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, oh

[Part II]

I have a house where I can go when there's too many people around me
I can sit and then watch all the people down below going by me
Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit and think about you and me, oh-oh

But I wonder will the sun still see all the people going by
Will the moon still hang in the sky
When I die? (When I die?)
When I'm high? (When I die?)
When I die?

If you were a cloud and you sailed up there
You sail on water as blue as air
You'd see me here in the fields and say
"Doesn't the sky look green today?"

But I wonder will the sun still see all the people going by
Will the moon still hang in the sky
When I die? (When I die?)
When I die?
When I'm high?
When I die, die, die, die, die?
