You wanted to leave
Some of the, the things we've been
To each other
In a small part of your brain
I wanted to go to the spirit world
You were large, large, large, large, large
Now you're all powder
Gone up in smoke
Gone down in thunder
You're part of my dream
And now you didn't care
In the end, like in the beginning
You seem to have gotten bored with me
And after I see now the damage I was doing
It really was a boring life
When you lost your excitement
But the breeze blows through the trees
The birds sing their song of songs
The clouds weave their patterns
I'm not so different from them
