I want to be where the talk of the town

 Is about last night when the sun went down

Yeah and the trees all dance

 And the warm wind blows in that same old sound

 And the water below gives a gift to the sky

 And the clouds give back every time they cry

 And make the grass grow green beneath my toes

 And if the sun comes out

 I'll paint a picture all about

 The colors I've been dreaming of

 The hours just don't seem enough

 To put it all together

 Maybe it's as strange as it seems

 And the trouble I find is that the trouble finds me
 And the water below gives a gift to the sky

 It's a part of my mind it begins with a dream

 And a feeling I get when I look and I see

 That this world is a puzzle, I'll find all of the pieces

 And put it all together, and then I'll rearrange it

 I'll follow it forever

 Always be as strange as it seems

 Nobody ever told me not to try
not to try
Oh, let's try, oh, let's try

 And the clouds give back every time they cry

 And make the grass grow green beneath my toes

 And if the sun comes out

 I'm going to paint a picture all about

 The colors I've been dreaming of

 The hours just don't seem enough

 To put it all together

 Always be as strange as it seems
