The Tea Tale

(© 2001 Ralph Covert & Deb Lader - Waterdog Music / ASCAP; Faintly Spoken Music / BMI)

I sewed a kite from bags of tea and sailed it over the Emerald Sea
It skipped and it bobbed around the clouds so free

With a twitch of its tail the wind turned round
And it blew my kite back over town
Then the sky crumpled up and silver rain came town

As a rainbow stretched from sea to hill
I saw my kite was flying still
And droplets of tea were trickling from its tail

So I opened my lips as I stood beneath
For a tiny taste from the heavens to me
I sewed myself a kite from bags of tea
