Skywriting

Eels

Don't cry

All the songs you sing

All the flowers you bring

I'm part of everything there ever was

And will be

Go on

You've got places to be

So many things to see

Don't worry 'bout me

I'm already where i should be

Look up

A plane writes in the sky

For every passerby

No one ever dies

They just write things in the sky

If you

Wanna think about me

Look out above the sea

And you can see that I am doing

Just fine
