In the backyard there's a nightgown and a playground
Where she comes to glance at the distance to the heavens
They don't seem that far
Come grab me a star
In the backyard there's an old slide it's a slow glide
That shoots her to the moon without a boom just the tune
She holds in her heart
Watch you'll be a star
I will watch you fly
Through the cracks in the sky
Till the flowers go dry
In the backyard near the playground there's a soft sound
That hides inside a tear and it's clear that she fears
The follies of heart
Come let down your guard
I will watch you fly
Through the cracks in the sky
Till the flowers go dry
I can't lie you will do more than cry
There's fear in the clear
Light inside of love
Don't you run from what you dream of
I will watch you fly
Through the cracks in the sky
I will watch you fly
Through the cracks in the sky
Till the flowers go dry
