Down to the city on a country road I rode
I let her know I'd be coming soon
Picture her in a flower dress and hat
I really like that
I'll have to tell her so
People gonna love it when we walk off holding hands
They like happy ends
Maybe life's that way

The sun is shining in the big blue sky
It's a turned-down day
When he gets to whistling like the birds on high
He can fly away

When the curtain comes down I'll pack my things and go
It's not in the show, but it's part of the play

All the little men
They're gonna put away the sun in the big blue sky
In the world outside, he'll watch them draw the curtain
Hear the night say, "Hi"

I wave to the people, but the wind just blows them down on the paper ground
They still smile
