Redwing

Hey, was that you floating past the tree-line? Hey, was that a feather in your hand? No I don't mean to ask these questions No I don't mean to rush your heart I swear I saw this accidentally No I don't mean to start Hey, the rain falls straight into the sidewalk Hey, the clouds hang heavy in the sky But I don't want to still believe in The gravity of solid ground The world below is not so big That it can keep us down We are standing on the rooftops We are circling like sparrows We are tiny, we are trembling, Scared of everything But the heart is still a red wing Fly above the houses and the schoolyards And fly until you cannot feel the Earth No I don't mean that it's so easy And I don't mean that it's so small But the world below is not so mean That it can make us fall We are standing on the rooftops We are circling like sparrows We are tiny, we are trembling, Scared of everything But the heart is still a red wing --- Redwing - Hem
