Key: A major
Verse 1
I'm taking off out there a mile
or more is meadows
where the soft green summer children go.
I'd like a lot to look at
them a little while.
Remember being small of curled hair
and loved and let alone to
use my fingertips
even on the grown -ups' pretty hands.
That certainly was a long time ago.
I understand your crucifix.
Come on, we'll walk away.
We know already how to climb a hill
and here's the simple plan.
I lift up the wire while you go under
and you lift up the wire for me.
