lyrics

The view from our room reminds me of us and how small we really are
When viewed from above the twenty high stories create a new type of art
All spattered and speckled and aligned with such grace
Or perhaps with no forethought at all

The frightening heights can deceive our small eyes
Make us think we're too high in the sky
The blue smiling sky can heal us in time
Keep us bright and alert and alive

Viewed from our balcony the buildings and trees effortlessly lie in their place
And the song that's inside us releases our pain in a delicate form of embrace
Seven days after the view soaks my eyes and I see our future in sight
Like the beautiful trees and birds and cities our love is intense and alive

The frightening heights can deceive our small eyes
Make us think we're too high in the sky
The blue smiling sky can heal us in time
Keep us bright and alert and alive

Sometimes when tears drop
From the beautiful heights
I'm not broken
It's just sad it can get cold

This far away and so high.
