Kite Song - Yoko Ono

I flew a kite, i held on tight to its string

Each time i go anywhere, i held on tight

In the middle of the night i woke up in fright

Thinking maybe in my dream i let go of my kite

When i was in a restaurant, talking to my friends

Watching their mouths move faster and faster

I thought of the kite that was flying in the sky

And made sure that my hand was holding the string

That was a long time ago

Many skies went by since then

Now my hands stopped holding anything

And i’ve learnt to take a walk instead

Then one day in the evening light

I saw something strange shining bright

The sky was dark, with swarms of larks

And in the midst of it all, yes, it was my kite

How did the kite get there, i’ll never know

Floating away among the clouds to where nobody knows

I held my gun with both my hands

Slowly aiming at the shining dot

The shot went off, the dot blew off

Since then i’ve never seen the kite again
