Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you were a bird and you lived very high
You leaned on the wind as the breeze came by
Say to wind as it took you away
"That's where I wanted to go today"
[Verse 2]
And I do know that I need to have you around
And I do know
I do know that I need to have you around
[Verse 3]
Love like a mountain springtime
Flashing through the rivers of my mind
It's what I feel for you
(Armadillo)
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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'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?"
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 die
When I'm high
When I die
Die, die, die, die
