Big blue skies and an open field
My right hand on the steering wheel
Two young lovers runnin’ wild
We bought string and a brand new kite
We couldn’t wait to watch it fly
But it flew too high, it flew too high
So I took your hand and you took mine
And we waltzed together in time
But looking back I guess I didn’t know
That I was in love and you were letting go
It’s funny how your mind plays tricks on you
Seemed like the higher and higher we flew
You took off and I was made of stone
I was made of stone

Here comes the wind let your string unwind
Run as fast as you can in your mind
Back to a place that you never forgot
Before everything was lost
I don’t remember when we ran out of rope
When we did we lost all hope
And we just stood there cryin’
That’s what we learned about flyin’
