[Verse] I saw a clock that spun in reverse Ticking time like a laughing curse The hands were birds They flew away Into a sky that forgot the day [Chorus] Strawberry skies and marmalade seas A world where nothing’s as it seems If you close your eyes You might believe Strawberry skies are all you need [Verse 2] A paper moon hung by a string It whispered secrets the stars would sing A carousel of dreams stood still But I rode it round I always will [Prechorus] The colors bled They ran like wine Blurred the edges of my mind [Chorus] Strawberry skies and marmalade seas A world where nothing’s as it seems If you close your eyes You might believe Strawberry skies are all you need [Bridge] Upside-down rivers flow through my veins A golden fish dances in the rain The ground is soft The clouds are stone Here I’m never alone Alone
