I live in the sky all the way in the clouds
Of my happy lavender dreams.
I am looking below and try to find
Your shadow and
Trace your steps in the crowd.
I live in the sky where the wind plays around
Messing and twisting your hair;
I come very close to your midnight face
And whisper
Love songs in your ear.
I’m this glimpse of the day
That plays in your eyes
And the sunray that makes you blind.
I land on earth as a thunder of love
And rise up as a rainbow above.
I am scattered, I know, and you try to collect
Every part of me in your palm.
Don’t you know,
I can only fit in your heart
Just simply because
I am your undeniable half.
