  • Cicadas and gulls
    They scrape on the hull
    The land and the sea
    They're distant from me

    I'm in the sky, sky, sky
    I'm in the sky

    Thoughts are like pearls
    And flags are unfurled
    When we're in the dark
    I'll ride you back the ark

    Because you might, might, might
    Because you might

    Maps can be posed
    With you on your own
    And distance is braille
    And all that entails

    I'm in the sky, sky, sky
    I'm in the sky
    I'm in the sky

    Empty as a page
    As high as a stage
    As full as a room
    When we're in the spoon Writer/s: Leslie Feist
