Why is the sky blue
Why the ground brown
You're face an alley
I could drown in
But give me gold
Tell me lies
A bee's spine shall twist
In a Ruby's light
And everyday I sink in your eyes

You sew your mind to me
Or mine to you
And twice I sang a song called blue
The rose a coin or love and gloom
Til the sun arose thought only of you

But the news was all wrong
And I could tell you it was God
Some thought suicide
But I had long ago died
Before I met you

Why is the road wet
Why the sky white
Your eyes speak what cannot be bet
Or a job too light for a fool to get
And I might feel the airs of one like you
But I long ago rose
To a dream of you

I wish to get lost far from the doom I once sought so pure
I wish to get lost in someone like you
But a rope is stronger tied at both ends
And I would know if it's tied to you
But
I want to know myself tied with you
I want to know myself tied with you
