Kite Song

<br>I flew a kite, I held on tight to its string.<br><br>Each time I go anywhere, I held on tight.<br><br>In the middle of the night I woke up in fright,<br><br>Thinking maybe in my dream I let go of my kite.<br><br><br><br>When I was in a restaurant, talking to my friends,<br><br>Watching their mouths move faster and faster.<br><br>I thought of the kite that was flying in the sky<br><br>And made sure that my hand was holding the string.<br><br>That was a long time ago,<br><br>Many skies went by since then.<br><br>Now my hands stopped holding anything<br><br>And Ive learnt to take a walk instead.<br><br><br><br>Then one day in the evening light,<br><br>I saw something strange shining bright.<br><br>The sky was dark, with swarms of larks,<br><br>And in the midst of it all, yes, it was my kite.<br><br><br><br>How did the kite get there, Ill never know,<br><br>Floating away among the clouds to where nobody knows.<br><br><br><br>I held my gun with both my hands,<br><br>Slowly aiming at the shining dot.<br><br>The shot went off, the dot blew off,<br><br>Since then Ive never seen the kite again.
