about

Co written with Hal Odell and Tai Shan
This is a song about 2 lives and a kite

lyrics

Two sticks, Newspaper
We colored the borders red and green
We brought it to life on that little kitchen table
With some string
we walked it to the park
Through the swirling breeze of April
The only lovers in the world
Pulling on our heart
Threw caution to the wind
We caught the wind
Phrasing of -Just hung- match
We held our breath

And it flew
Like a dancing smile out of the blue
Forever in a single afternoon
Forever ends up falling all too soon- Why does it fall - we fell from that sky all too soon-flying high but falling all too soon, it ended up
(left only with the feel )
Leaving only the feel of how it flew

Two lives so busy
We never noticed how/when we lost the spring
The kite slept in the closet wanting only to be wanted
By you and me

we talked about the park
But we never made it back there
Just hung onto the memory - (not matching)of the way (lower)

It flew
Like a dancing smile out of the blue
Forever in a single afternoon
Forever ends up falling all too soon
Leaving only the feel of how it flew


Some kites are torn to pieces by the storm
Some they come loose and race away
For us the wind just died
And our kite fell to the table (from the sky)- now the kite lies on the table
And we signed it and we went our separate ways

But oh how it flew out of the blue
Forever in a single afternoon
Forever ends up falling all too soon
Leaving only the feel of how it flew
How it flew ooh it flew

Ooo

I Remember how it flew
