If the Clouds Were Higher Than the Stars
*Very strange lyrics, I think*


If the clouds were higher than the stars
We would reach all up to Mars
Picking flowers of the Sun
'Til they're all gone
And left none
For our dreams will all come true
In the palace of our new
World filled with oceans
Of red apples and rings of smoke
And I'm dreaming that the clouds are higher than the stars

not so much a lyrics, more a poem! and a very nice one at that!
though I have the feeling that they are not quite complete, after "in the forest that left no trees", my feel for the flow of the words would ask for 3-4 lines more, and then getting back to the "(...) clouds are higher than the stars" part.

also, "in the palace of our new / world filled with ocean(s?)" seems like a break in the flow, I could be mistaken, maybe adding an adjective to "ocean(s?)" could solve this, or maybe I'm reading it wrong.

anyway, happy dreaming!
personally I'd love to take a plunge in the Sun if I could... nothing beats swimming in the Sun!

Very moving
I like the imagery in the lyrics. I agree with PuppetXeno's comments, but sometimes when we review lyrics we don't "hear" the authors voice. It sounds to me like you lose the rythmic flow at "World filled with ocean", and you never really get it back. Did you sort of lose the groove? Or maybe you hear it in your head in a way that sounds great? Let us know!

Yes
I guess I kind of lost the groove...
I wrote the music first, and then I didn't want it to be instrumental.

I can follow what PX said about 'ocean's', because of the next plural apple's and ring's.

It is more of a poem unless your into the true greatness of Rock.
Though the imagery is alright, I don't seam to be able to follow an actual scene, if you know what I mean?
