Jefferson Airplane Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil
If you were a bird and you lived very high,
you'd lean on the wind when the breeze came by,
you'd say to the wind as it took you away,
that's where I wanted to go today"
and I do know that I need to have you around
love like a mountain springtime,
flashing through the rivers of my mind
it's what I feel for you
you and me go walking south
And we see all the world around us,
the colors blind my eyes and my mind to all but you,
and I do know that I need to have you around,
and I do, I do know that I need to have you around
I have a house where I can go
when there's too many people around me
I can sit and watch all the people
down below goin' by me
halfway down the stair is a stair
where I sit and think around you and me
but I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin' by
will the moon still hang in the sky when I die,
when I die, when I'm high, when I die?
if you were a cloud and you sailed up there,
you'd sail on water as blue as air,
you'd see me here in the fields and say,
"Doesn't the sky look green today?"
