Something Temporary

When I was three my dog was hit by a car 
On the highway that ran next to our family farm 
Gone to heaven, gone to live on a cloud 
Gone to heaven, chase his tail round a cloud 

When I was seven my friend fell in the lake 
His lungs filled up with water and fish from the lake 
Gone to heaven, gone to live on a cloud 
Gone to heaven, skipping rocks on a cloud 

When I was ten I dreamed that I was a bird 
Til an arrow pierced my chest and brought me to earth 
Gone to heaven, gone to live on a cloud 
Gone to heaven, build a nest in a cloud 

Up here we watch the planets spin round and round 
Watch the planets spin round and round 
Watch the planets spin round and round 
Watch the planets spin round and round 

Little people, little scurry around 
Little people, little scurry around 
Little people, little scurry around 
Little people
