Shadow Puppets

1: (
Dude) In a forest the blanket trees I met you among the leaves with
shadow puppets chasing me you said they're just hands look you see
and we spoke mostly through cans and strings
is it any wonder we don't understand anything
1: (
Chick) and what I didn't say is I'll let go of you and watch you put
away like a handful of balloons (dude
harmonizes on like a handful of balloons)
2: I saw your face in a Nimbus cloud you were crying rain and
thinning out and writing lightning messages in the skies margins who
wrote presages and you tapped your foot
so rapidly it's Morse code for me to leave
So I suppose I'll go and we'll see if
it's me back to you or you back to me
2: and then to my dismay I let go of you And watched you float
away like a handful of balloons
(dude harmonizes whole thing with chick)
3: and what to my surprise is falling from the sky's A shape
against the clouds of you're coming back around and what to my
surprise is falling from the sky's a shape against the clouds of
you coming back to ground (dude sings melody and chick harmonizes)
