Painting by Chagall

Thunder rumbles in the distance, a quiet intensity

I am willful, your insistence is tugging at the best of me

You're the moon, I'm the water

You're Mars, calling up Neptune's daughter

Sometimes rain that's needed falls

We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall

All around is sky and blue town

Holding these flowers for a wedding gown

We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us

I am humbled in this city

There seems to be an endless sea of people like us

Wakeful dreamers, I pass them on the sunlit streets

In our rooms filled with laughter

We make hope from every small disaster

Sometimes rain that's needed falls

We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall

All around is sky and blue town

Holding these flowers for a wedding gown

We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us

And everybody says "you can't, you can't, you can't, don't try."

Still everybody says that if they had the chance they'd fly like we do

Sometimes rain that's needed falls

We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall

All around is sky and blue town

Holding these flowers for a wedding gown

We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us

Satellites surround us

Sometimes rain that's needed falls

And everybody says you can't you can't don't try...
