The leaves up on the trees today are green green green

And the clouds behind the leaves right now are white as they can be

But the sky behind the clouds, it's as blue as cherry pie

And it's all the more to sit and wonder why



The kids out on the playground they just play play play

The mama of the kid that fell can kiss those tears away

And the dad don't say a word, he just counts his lucky vows

And it's all the more to sit and wonder how



The lovers on the benches they just love love love

And the old men on the promenade preside like silver doves

While the doves and dirty bums eat crumbs of hope and bread

And it's all the more to sit and wonder when



The runners by the waterside they run run run

And the rowers on the water top they skim the top like bugs

While the cattails on the shore they blow like Buddha's hair

And it's all the more to sit and wonder where



The pretty girls with tiny clothes they dare dare dare

The boys with pretty skateboard tricks pretend that they don't care

And the woman in the grass with the book and purple bruise

And it's all the more to sit and wonder who



The sun upon the sunset it just glows glows glows

The moon takes up its perch and says it's time to get on home

And I wish upon a star that it might fill our dreams with dust

And it's all the more to sit and wonder what
