Sad Song

And I dreamed that pieces of the sky

were falling falling down

and you said

don't step upon the ground

don't step upon the ground

it seems such

 a really simple thing

to make the rafters ring

but you said you don't know all your notes

not even how to float 

if it floods here

floods here

galoshes arent  in style

you said without a smile

then I said

I really want to go

I want to go.
