lyrics

Bright sun smeared across a wide open sky
The girl with the ocean in her eyes
Walking up and down the grassy stairs
With the sun bleaching colors in her hair

Looking out at the pouring down rain
She was in between here and there
She couldn't be seen anywhere

And then she shaved her head with a #3
Her face lit up just like a color TV
And when I lie in bed staring into the dark
She sits in the room dreaming of moon and the stars
The girl in the yellow dress
