[G] [C]
I am floating over strange land, it's [F] a soar sea, [Eb] kids show [Db] bears moon.
[C] I am floating [Bb] over [C] strange land, and [F] the stranger still, [Eb] there's no balloon.
[F] But I'm getting [Cm] higher, [Em] [A] wafted [F] up by waves,
they will fly [Cm] into the youth [D] and children and curl [Db] my [Gm] feet.
[F] [Cm] Show kids [D] and children, bringing [F] me back,
turn and never come in the streams.
[Ab] Even I know, [D]
when my eyes [C] are full, I am skating on the thin ice,
a [F] plump, good land to [Eb] plant [Db] a song.
[C] I am skating [Bb] on the [C] thin ice, no [F] such net [Eb] pulls me [Ab] along.
[Dm] But I'm getting [F] higher,
[Em] lifted [F] up, a love circus, wired [Cm] to love.
Kids [D] and children and curl [Db] my feet.
[F]
[Cm] Kids [D] and children, bringing [F] me back [C] to earth,
[F] turn and never come in the streams.
[Dm] [Bb]
[F] [Ab] Even I never know, where I go, when my eyes are closed.
Even I never spied, and the seeds were grown.
Even I never knew, this is what [Db] I'd be.
Even I never mean, that you're screwed [Dm] to the sea.
So still I'm getting [Cm] higher, [Em] rolling [C] up on three empty [Cm] diacita.
[D] I [Db] [C]
am soaring [F] over [C] hushed crowds, the [Bb] real acts [F] you [Eb] can't fall [Ab] in [C] scene.
I am soaring [Bb] over [C] hushed crowds, I'm [Bb] hooked [F]
up here, [Eb] by love and [Db] greed.
[Dm]
Still I'm getting [F] higher,
[Em]
[F] Icarus, Regret, Sam, retired [Cm] puzzle.
[Ab]
Chalk hills [D] and children, and curl [Db] my feet.
[F] [Ab]
Chalk hills [D] and children, oddly [Db] complete.
[F] [Eb]
Chalk [D] hills and children, each planet, [Ab] know where I [Dm] belong.
[Bb] [Cm]
Chalk hills [D] and children, even I [Cm] never know where [Dm] I belong.
