A Song To Die In

blue strawberries
from the garden growing high
four sweet colors
and a million bubbles in the sky
i took a picture
you held the sun between your eyes
i was born a bastard
my love, you always had it right
but in a sky of diamonds
upside-down i'm flying
i watched people dying
till you and i were dying too
so it happened
i imagined you tonight
tied to a red balloon
i watched it float you through the sky
i snapped a picture
cause i could never trust my mind
i was born a wisher
who never seemed to have the time
now when i look around me
all i see are upside-downies
climbing up the upside-down trees
hiding in the upside-down leaves
below a sky of diamonds
there floats a golden island
maybe i'll never find it
but dear, i won't stop trying
somewhere blue birds are flying
we'll sing a song to die in
i'll sing a song
i'll sing a song
i'll sing a song
