Los lyrics:
Well she’s walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That’s running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairy tales,
That’s all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind
When I’m sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It’s all right, she says
It’s all right
Take anything you want from me
Anything
Fly on, little wing
