it was a perfect day
for planes in the sky
what i saw…
the reddest stripes and silver
shining into your bluest eye
i saw the smoke and soot fall
down by the rill where i was
i know this won’t last too long
empty and blue cloudless sky
and i’m so glad you came midday
laughing so loud that you can’t hear a sound
rockets and jets…
i left the knife on the rafter
i will have your heart after
i know this won’t last too long
i’ll have the day
a long, long time
and the planes
they go up
they go down
and i can’t hear your words
cuz you’re talking too loud
like rockets and jets…
