lyrics

Clouds of yellow, yesterday was yellow too,
Everything that’s left behind is beautiful,
In the seed and in the bud will always be the perfect love, unknown,

I loved you from horizon to horizon,
In lowlands underneath a big blue sky,
And if it rained, if it was grey, we let it wash the hours away,
For you, I will sing,

Lay your head on my shoulder,
Count the stars in the sky,
While I hold you,
As I love you,
Let big American aeroplanes go by,

I remember somewhere in a car with you,
An angel low and sudden came - the sound was cruel,
And shook us from our lovers’ thrill,
To feel the cold chill - aeroplane of love,
Her song,

And if there may be oceans in between us blue,
Still hear the words we whispered for our own love, true,
Where little pearls of wisdom fall into our arms - we catch them all,

Lay your head on my shoulder,
Count the stars in the sky,
While I hold you,
As I love you,
Let big American aeroplanes go by,

Clouds of red and yellow in the eastern sky,
The tears you bring for me now sting in other eyes,
And all the broken skin and bone is buried in the undertones of love,

So float like a sailboat, wind-blown and summer-soaked,
Smoke sting your baby eyes of blue,
About you in the heavens ring, the song of stars and seraphim,

Lay your head on my shoulder,
Count the stars in the sky,
While I hold you,
As I love you,
Let big American aeroplanes go by,
