Down to the city on a country road I rode   I let her know I'd be coming soon   Picture her in a flower dress and hat   I really like that   I'll have to tell her so   People gonna love it when we walk off holding hands   They like happy ends   Maybe life's that way      The sun is shining in the big blue sky   It's a turned-down day   When he gets to whistling like the birds on high   He can fly away      When the curtain comes down I'll pack my things and go   It's not in the show, but it's part of the play      All the little men   They're gonna put away the sun in the big blue sky   In the world outside, he'll watch them draw the curtain   Hear the night say, "Hi"      I wave to the people, but the wind just blows them down on the paper ground   They still smile
