A Song To Die In

by Michael Nau, of Page France

blue strawberries

from the garden growing high

four sweet colors

and a million bubbles in the sky

i took a picture

you held the sun between your eyes

i was born a bastard

my love, you always had it right

but in a sky of diamonds

upside-down i'm flying

i watched people dying

till you and i were dying too

so it happened

i imagined you tonight

tied to a red balloon

i watched it float you through the sky

i snapped a picture

cause i could never trust my mind

i was born a wisher

who never seemed to have the time

now when i look around me

all i see are upside-downies

climbing up the upside-down trees

hiding in the upside-down leaves

below a sky of diamonds

there floats a golden island

maybe i'll never find it

but dear, i won't stop trying

somewhere blue birds are flying

we'll sing a song to die in

i'll sing a song

i'll sing a song

i'll sing a song
