lyrics

straw was the color
of her hair from up here
twist in her finger
into gold in her ear

damn well near perfect
was the view that was mine
much better over here
i've heard than on nine

(come back down)
i can see everything in this big green cloud
(come back down)
i can see everything in this big green cloud

hand holding hers
drawing circles in the sand
shell letters spelling something
i don't understand

lawn is the color
of the air way up here
lay back in faith
holding glass broken clear
