Sun Orange Small Lyrics

"...few people... always a few people..."
"...these are the stars and here are the people,
look..."
"...so I tried to hitchhike from this exit, there was
nothing... that's all
it was the worstest like, like standing time I ever had
here in the States
with hitchhiking... I'm standing there, and I'm
standing there, and I'm
standing there... and after a while a, a guy stopped
like... I had no money
or nothing I had nothing to eat and stuff like that...
a guy stopped like
with a Jeep and picked me up and... 'well, I have
nothing to do, I'll
drive you to [unintelligible]'..."

fly blackbird fly
frozen the sea i see you
old cover clouds new snow there they go
silent but wings
sun orange small i see you
nowhere is home go alone so alone

"...I was tired, I was... bored, I was... I didn't know
where to go, where to
find a job. I felt... pretty helpless..."

fly angel fly
older than me i feel you
coalcovered clouds white snow there you go
heard myself call
far from them all i feel you
left them behind or ahead and he said

something's gonna change i can feel it
last night i had dreams that i was you
i was tearing out the pages of my diary
and a bird flew past my head
so i put them back again 'cause i knew
it's alright to like the way i feel it's alright to like the way i feel
it's alright to like the way i feel
it's alright to like the way i feel

cry blackbird cry
over the waves i hear you
coalcovered clouds white snow there they go
ice on your wings
songless he sings i hear you
nowhere is home all alone there's a phone

"...I tried to call home because of... I don't know...
I wanted to call
home... where ever call home is... I, I made the re-
call, but of course, I
didn't have the money to pay the telephone... and
nobody picked up the
phone... that was depressing me more than, than
everything before..."

something's gonna change i can feel it
last night i just stayed at home alone
i was tearing out the pages from my diary
but a bird flew past my head
so i put them back again 'cause i know
it's alright
it's alright to feel the way i feel
sometimes the answer just comes

"...and after about two months, I had the money
together to rent a place...
with the guy together who gave me the first job... it's
a pretty, little
world for me, in a way... few people... always a few
people..."
