Intro / The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil Songtext
von Jefferson Airplane

If you were a bird and you lived very high,
You′d lean on the wind when the breeze came by,
You'd say to the wind as it took you away,
That′s where I wanted to go today"
And I do know that I need to have you around
Love like a mountain springtime,
flashing through the rivers of my mind; it's what I feel for you.
You and me go walking south
And we see all the world around us,
The colors blind my eyes and my mind to all but you,
And I do know that I need to have you around,
And I do, I do know that I need to have you around.


I have a house where I can go
When there's too many people around me;
I can sit and watch all the people
Down below goin′ by me;
Halfway down the stair is a stair
Where I sit and think about you and me;
But I wonder will the sun still see all the people goin′ by.
Will the moon still hang in the sky when I die,
When I die, when I'm high, when I die?
If you were a cloud and you sailed up there,
You′d sail on water as blue as air,
You'd see me here in the fields and say,
"Doesn′t the sky look green today?"
