Painting By Chagall

Thunder rumbles in the distance

A quiet intensity

I am willful, your insistence

Is tugging at the best of me

You're the moon, I'm the water

You're Mars, calling up Neptune's daughter

Sometimes rain that's needed falls

We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall

All around is sky and blue town

Holding these flowers for a wedding gown

We live so high above the ground

Satellites surround us

I am humbled in this city

There seems to be an endless sea

Of people like us, wakeful dreamers

I pass them on the sunlit streets

In our rooms filled with laughter

We make hope from every small disaster

Sometimes rain that's needed falls

We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall

All around is sky and blue town

Holding these flowers for a wedding gown

We live so high above the ground

Satellites surround us

And everybody says you can't, you can't, you can't, don't try

Still, everybody says that if they had the chance

They'd fly like we do

Sometimes rain that's needed falls

We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall

All around is sky and blue town

Holding these flowers for a wedding gown

We live so high above the ground

Satellites surround us

Satellites surround us

Sometimes rain that's needed falls

(Everybody says you can't, you can't, you can't, don't try)

(Everybody says you can't, you can't, you can't, don't try)
