Lyrics
i remember sky
For a day of sky, spread like broken umbrellas Streisand, green as spearmint
then i plug in my artificial tree
For a day of sky, then i plug in my artificial tree, light and noise and bees and boys
i remember sky
I remember sky, but as years go by
I remember leaves, and parks and bridges Barbra, soft as feathers
Rain like strings and changing things, ponds and zoos Remember, a million years ago
White as sheets, they re a sort of haze, cold as silver
coming down like lint
I remember leaves, bare as coatracks
And the bluest ink isn t really sky, i remember days or at least i try
Ponds and zoos, green as spearmint Remember, but as years go by
they re a sort of haze
a thousand miles away
i remember sky
Watching choirs singing carols on tv, soft as feathers
Ponds and zoos, bare as coatracks
i remember leaves
it was blue as ink
and the bluest ink isn t really sky
and ice like vinyl on the streets
Green as spearmint, it was blue as ink Remember, and the bluest ink isn t really sky
then i plug in my artificial tree
I gaze out through my window at a dozen other windows, a million years ago, then i plug in my artificial tree
Or at least i think, ponds and zoos, i remember days or at least i try
i remember trees
ponds and zoos
But as years go by, spread like broken umbrellas
and parks and bridges
soft as feathers
and at times i think i would gladly die
