From the recording 1981 • Jane Siberry
Lyrics
We're going to the seashore
going to burst upon the brine
from a car that's full of babies
and dogs and food and wine
sand in our suits and salt in our hair
and everyone feeling so fine
the sky is so blue
you can see right through
my heart it is so big
I can't get through the door
that's what I'm here for
we're going to the country
and we're going to plant so seeds
we're going to steal some cow corn
and drive across the fields
dance around the scarecrows
do whatever we please
we're going to the country
in our little deux-chevaux
we're going to put the roof down
crank the radio up full
honk at all the cars we meet
and let them know we know
the sky is so blue...
we're going to the mountains
where there's still a little snow
going to do some spring skiing
go as fast as we can go
give instructions from the chair-lift
and tell all the tourists to go for it
see the shorts and t-shirts
go whizzing through the trees
with their hollywood sunglasses
and the scratches on their knees
yodeling on the mountain-side
and cutting the air like chick-a-dees
the sky is so blue...
we're going to the lake now
to spend our summer days
we're going to do some sailing
we're going to catch some rays
when it gets too hot
we'll roll off the dock
and paddle around the bay
and when the lake is quiet
at midnight we will float
with our blankets and our beer
in our almost-leak-proof boat
never seen so many stars
on the starry lake we float
the sky is so blue...
we're going to the cliffs today
to see if we can fly
I think I could do better
with your wing out of my eye
you can see for miles up here
open heart in open sky
the sky is so blue
you can see right through
la la la
my heart it is so big
I can't get through the door
that's what I'm here for
