Big blue skies and an open field   My right hand on the steering wheel   Two young lovers runnin' wild   We bought string and a brand new kite   We couldn't wait to watch it fly   But it flew too high, it flew too high      Here comes the wind let your string unwind   Run as fast as you can in your mind   Back to a place that you never forgot   Before everything was lost   I don't remember when we ran out of rope   When we did we lost all hope   And we just stood there cryin'   That what's we learned about flyin'      So I took your hand and you took mine   And we waltzed together in time   But looking back I guess I didn't know   That I was in love and you were letting go   It's funny how your mind plays tricks on you   Seemed like the higher and higher we flew   You took off and I was made of stone   I was made of stone      Here comes the wind let your string unwind   Run as fast as you can in your mind   Back to a place that you never forgot   Before everything was lost   I don't remember when we ran out of rope   When we did we lost all hope   And we just stood there cryin'   That what's we learned about flyin'      Here comes the wind let your string unwind   Run as fast as you can in your mind   Back to a place that you never forgot   Before everything was lost   I don't remember when we ran out of rope   When we did we lost all hope   And we just stood there cryin'   That what's we learned about flyin'
