The Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil - alternate version

If you were a bird and you lived very high,
 You'd lean on the wind when the breeze came by,
 You'd say to the wind as it took you away,
 That's where I wanted to go today"
 And I do know that I need to have you around
 Love like a mountain springtime,
 flashing through the rivers of my mind;
 it's what I feel for you.
 Amardil-il-il-o-o-o
 (spoken by Marty)
 You and me go walking south
 And we see all the world around us,
 The colors blind my eyes and my mind to all but you,
 And I do know that I need to have you around,
 And I do, I do know that I need to have you around.
 I have a house where I can go
 When there's too many people around me;
 I can sit and watch all the people
 Down below goin' by me;
 Halfway down the stair is a stair
 Where I sit and think around you and me;
 But I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin' by.
 Will the moon still hang in the sky when I die,
 When I die, when I'm high, when I die?
 If you were a cloud and you sailed up there,
 You'd sail on water as blue as air,
 You'd see me here in the fields and say,
 "Doesn't the sky look green today?"
