Our address was in the sky   Just a roof of woven reeds   You and I   On the highest front   Of a very tall tree      Months and months we'd stay up high   Because all the climbing takes such time   And we'd live on the blooms carried in by the breeze      Every night I promise you   We'd go down to see the friends we once knew   But every night I'd make an excuse      And I never came down from the roof   I awoke and you had flown   Just an impression of you next to me   And the terrible sound of the clapping of leaves      Every night I promise you   We'd go down to see the friends we once knew   But every night i'd make an excuse   And I never came down from the roof.
