about

playful and clunky rumination. like one foot in front of the other; one image leads to the next. (the airoplanes spelling is ok cause it sounds that way)

lyrics

airoplanes fly all over the world
rain clouds drift away
a little boy, looking up at the sky,
is trying to find out the way

invisible lines that carry the signs
that we all send and receive
cross the mountains, and oceans of time,
as rivers of dark and light fill our minds


nobody knows what happened before
the sun came up today
all i can remember is ashes and embers
the wind blows past away

such is the the beauty of kites in the sky
and children who hold golden the strings
that tug on our hearts when the wind makes us cry
but ashes and embers fall away when you smile


airoplanes fly all over the world
rain clouds drift away
a little boy, looking up at the sky,
is trying to find out the way

invisible lines that carry the signs
that we all send and receive
cross the mountains, and oceans of time,
as rivers of dark and light fill our minds
