Cleo Laine - I Remember

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1759363
ELLA
I remember sky
It was blue as ink
Or at least I think
I remember sky

I remember snow
Soft as feathers
Sharp as thumbtacks
Coming down like lint
And it made you squint
When the wind would blow

And ice, like vinyl, on the streets
Cold as silver, white as sheets
Rain, like strings
And changing things
Like leaves

I remember leaves
Green as spearmint
Crisp as paper
I remember trees
Bare as coat racks
Spread like broken umbrellas
And parks and bridges
Ponds and zoos
Ruddy facеs
Muddy shoes
Light and noise
And bees and boys
And days

I remеmber days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're a sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky
