[Verse 1]
I walk barefoot across the blue sky
In the fluffy white bedding I sink
Pushing lame cart that's passing me by
In the feathered clouds, right on the brink
[Verse 2]
And the drunk oak is shaking its leaves
In the morning it's tipsy and wild
Pouring rain sings its song through the eaves
Over courtyards, so loud and unstyled
[Chorus]
Oh, my soul is a bird flying free
In the gold of the clouds it will be
Where the cart creaks along azure height
Fearing neither the storm nor the night
Where the sky kisses ears of the grain
Spreading voices in joyful refrain
[Verse 3]
And the cricket is chirping away
With a trill that is crazy and loud
Bringing longing that's leading astray
Touched my heart, little fool, and I'm proud
[Verse 4]
Like a bell underneath of my shirt
My disobedient heart beats in fear
Like a bird that is anxious and hurt
On the threshold it waits for what's near
[Verse 5]
With a sigh for the wind and the trees
That are swaying the waters below
In a carriage, the sun with such ease
Touches domes with a heavenly glow
[Verse 6]
And the sunset will spill on the stream
Painting banks with the amber so bright
Under heaven's hand, lost in a dream
In the blue tent I'll sleep through the night
[Chorus]
Oh, my soul is a bird flying free
In the gold of the clouds it will be
Where the cart creaks along azure height
Fearing neither the storm nor the night
Where the sky kisses ears of the grain
Spreading voices in joyful refrain
[Outro]
In the fluffy white bedding...
Barefoot on the sky...
Through the feathered clouds heading...
Joy in poems will fly
