On the edge of a small town, on a small farm there lived a small boy with five sisters One dad, and a pig And the father, he was born there, in that very same town And in all of his years there, it never let him down But the boy asked him questions about other, bigger towns And all of these questions were met with a frown So while doing his chores, the boy often doddled and dreamed And he sang to his pig of the big world he'd see A piece of the sky came falling down Landed in the field by my house I woke in the night And walked outside To see what the noise was about And there on the ground I could see Something as dark as the sky And it only occurred to me what it was When the stars started falling by So I picked up the sky piece and brought it inside Put it at the foot of my bed I couldn't get to sleep with the stars at my feet So I put it in the bath tub instead And every time I took a shower, I did it in thunder and rain And every time I needed rainbows, I looked for them down the drain
