You're Out of Mind

You're Out of Mind

I cleared the winter mist from my window pane

And looked down at the pavement below,

And I saw a paper boat in a pool of rain

Only a moment ago.

Just when it seems

I've control of my thoughts

And the past is a thing I can chain;

Just when it seems

I've control of my dreams,

There are always paper boats in pools of rain.

You're out of mind
Then a single leaf is born
In a silent April dawn
And you return to me.
You're out of mind
Then a white and faded moon
Floats against the blue
Of an August afternoon.
How you return
When one lone sparrow flies
Across the silent gray November skies.
You're out of mind,
There's a gentle snow and then
I am with you
Till I force you
From my lonely mind again.
