You wore that lacey purple blouse one rainy afternoon
you came through the crowd and passed through me
you were beautiful but your eyes were remarkably sad
you know that I did not come to stay with you
And when the crickets started to chirp,
you talked with them and laughed carelessly
and I thought that you could be happy
at least try even without me
i smiled and broke a tear off my eyes
If I could reach up and hold a star for everytime you made me smile,
I would have the whole night sky in the palm of my hand
but if in every tear I shed for you, a star would die,
I'd always go home empty-handed.
And i did.
Is there any way of loving that would make parting no sorrow at all?
I cling to my sorrow that you are not here,
I'll send up my cloud to catch sunshine
it is a kite that I pull with my heart strings.
That cloud I saw away to the right is coming this way toward me.
I can see the shadow of it now moving along a far-off strip of road
and I wonder if it is your cloud,
with you under it coming to see me again..
