I smile, wave, and say goodbye,
because you can’t come with me on this ride.
Floating home, up to the sky,
I never knew I could use these eyes.
Lifting off familiar ground,
a dizzy feeling begins to astound.
And all at once, every sweet sound,
Has me drifting up and getting down
I never guessed, what nobody knows:
clouds taste like sugar but feel so cold,
or the nourishment of lands where nothing grows,
or how to walk out the front door, into my home
All these unfamiliar faces borrowed my smile,
but that’s ok, we can share for a while.
The day is looking long and the weather quite mild,
there’s something to this far north style
But days end and storms begin,
“goodbye’s” are quite common where I’ve been.
So look towards the sky, I’m coming home,
with clouds above, I‘m never alone.
