lyrics

I made a wish on a blue star,
and I wished for a pair of wings.
But instead I became a blue kite,
flying tied to a tail of string.

I will spin for you only now turning back to you
I don't know what I should do
One thing I know now is true
You'll walk away when you're through.

Now I am a kite in the blue sky,
and I spin on a string to your hand.
But I look to the light of a new dawn,
I will rise high above my own plans.

I will sing to you only now turning back to you
I don't know what I should do
One thing I know now is true
You'll walk away when you're through.


I will dream of you only now turning back to me
I don't know where I could be
One thing I know now is true
You'll walk away when you're through.

Now I am poised on the last word,
I must leave my mistakes where they fall.
There's a feel to the air that I treasure,
but for now I must spin at your call.
