lyrics

Sing to me,
In your daft hat with all the flowers,
Sing to me,
About the birds and all their powers,
Sing to me,
Under the sky in heavy showers,
Sing to me,
Until the early morning hours

Perhaps the way things are now,
Is the way they’re supposed to be,
Perhaps back then you weren’t you,
And I wasn’t me

Dream with me,
In your daft hat with all the flowers,
Dream with me,
About the birds and all their powers,
Dream with me,
Under the sky in heavy showers,
Dream with me,
Until the early morning hours

Perhaps the way things are now,
Is the way they’re supposed to be,
Perhaps back then you weren’t you,
And I wasn’t me
