Rain








This dress that I made
Out of the curtains
Was on the line
Dancing around
Better than I can







Now we walk up
To the top of the street
Once letting go
Rain sails us in a leafy boat
Down the street
And well be there before we know
There go the lawn chairs








Some frogs are racing them
To catch up with me
Gray buildings go by
Violety sky lit up with trees in yellow
Once letting go
Rain sails us in a leafy boat
Down the street







And well be there before we know
Hey, is that you
Going by, swimming by
Hey, is that you
Zig-zagging, whizzing by
Sailing up, sailing by
Once letting go









Rain sails us in a leafy boat
Down the street
And well be there before we know

Bright As Yellow








And you live your life with your arms stretched out.
Eye to eye when speaking.
Enter rooms with great joy shouts,
happy to be meeting.
And bright,
bright,
bright as yellow,
warm as yellow.








And I do not want to be a rose.
I do not wish to be pale pink,
but flower scarlet, flower gold.
And have no thorns to distance me,






but be bright,
bright,
bright as yellow,
warm as yellow.









Even if I'm shouting, even if I'm shouting here inside.
Even if I'm shouting, do you see that I'm wanting,
that I want to be so
bright,
bright,






bright as yellow,
warm as yellow.
