lyrics

I thought I'd write a letter
On imaginary paper,
With an ink that was invisible
And then I'd send it to you
On a first-class trip upon a ship
That sails on air, not water
Through the blue and stormy atmosphere
Into your breakfast cereal.

But every time I feel the phrase
Come slipping out some open gate,
Trees fall down and block the way,
Leaving me with more to say.

So I wrote a melody
To go with words you'd plainly see
When you looked out your window,
In the middle of the morning,
Over bagels and a daydream,
Underneath and over cream cheese,
In and out of conversations
Made with words that have no meaning.

But every time I feel the phrase
Come slipping out some open gate,
Trees fall down and block the way,
Leaving me with more to say.

So I drew a picture frame
With water colors mixed with rain
So I could show you visually
What words had always hid from me
In bacon strips and sausage links
And tablespoons and coffee drinks
That spill across your bagel
Into your breakfast cereal.

But every time I feel the phrase
Come slipping out some open gate,
Trees fall down and block the way,
Leaving me with more to say.
