lyrics

that angry yellow sky
made me wonder why oh why
what had I done so bad to piss him off

it was clear I'd made him cross
but what ritual now lost
could repair the lost love of dirt and air

I said "I hope that when I die,
my soul goes back to the sky"
thinking that this little prayer'd win em back
I said "I'd rather be a dove,
with the wind for my one love"
yes, I hoped these little words would do the trick

It seemed this flattery hit home
clouds parted and sun shone
where wooden bones were there sprouted little buds

Now, I cannot tell a lie
I was taken by surprise
felt something change when that light
hit my heart

I said "I hope that when I die,
my soul goes back to the sky"
but then I felt these very words strike a chord
I said "I'd rather be a dove,
with the wind for my one love"
but then I felt a yearning I'd never known

I said "I hope that when I die,
my soul goes back to the sky"
and I mean it as I say it here for you
