lyrics

TURN INTO A BERRY

In the sky a cloud.
In the cloud a lake.
In the lake a fish
Granting you one wish.
And your wish, of course, is that you wish,
Any time you choose,
To have a similar opportunity
To change anything you want to.
She turned into a fairy
So I’ll be a berry,
And when she comes to suck me
We both shall make merry,
Cuz in that special moment
When feeling can foment,
We’ll ask ourselves the question,
And answer, “Most definitely, yes!”

You made yourself into a warm wind in my heart, yes you did!
On a cool cold September evening in the chill, I swear I saw you there.
I knew every time I tucked my eyes into ol’ tarot’s party (ha-ha) that you threw,
In that wind I put a seed of mine…
It’s meant for you!

The more that you can see it
The less you can taste it.
The more that you can taste it
The less you can see it.
The less that I can see it
The more I can feel it.
And yeah, the more I feel it
The more I believe it is true!
