Captain of an Ascending White Balloon

YELLOW GARDEN

Little springtime, let me cover up for you
and take a long vacation far away
Without thinking, without thinking my heart stopped
like a legend on a lover’s leap would change her mind and put the kettle on

I was sitting in the corner of the day
in a little yellow garden
I saw you

You’ve always been too perfect to be good
careful for ungrounded reasons
Things we never say will steer the way
you saw the hesitation wounds but still
never knew me

Little springtime, let me cover up for you
I saw them through the thin shopwindow glass
Without thinking, without thinking my tears fell
and tenderness was such a heartless way
of not saying goodbye, of staying dry
Yes, I saw them

Blue june I’m calling you this way, now
Blue june, how could it be this way?
Blue june you’re calling me to stay
