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' by
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?"
