The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil

If you were a bird and you lived very high,

knew even 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

Love like a mountain springtime,

flashing through the rivers of my mind;

it's what I feel for you.

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.

I have a house where I can go

When there's too many people around me;

I can sit and watch all the people

Down below goin' by me;

Halfway down the stair is a stair

Where I sit and think about you and me;

But I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin'

Will the moon still hang in the sky when I die,

When I die, when I'm high, 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?"
