Commentary
About one of many crushes, characterised by self-doubt.

Dedicated to Juana-na-na-na-na.

When I bought some new recording equipment in 2001, I thought I'd use one of my 'lesser' songs to experiment with, in case I messed things up badly.  However I was so pleased with the results that I named the accumulative album  “Let’s Go Fly A Kite!” after it.

I'd rather be up there by your side

and like you I'd fly

and I would kiss you in the sky. 

I'd love to be up there by your side

and like you I'd fly

and I would kiss you in the sky.

Kite - soaring at such a height

Perhaps you'll breeze away.

I hope you always find the light.

If I tried to touch you,
would I rise or would you fall?

Would the clown discover
that the graceful kite is not in reach at all? 

Sky queen - radiant and serene.

You dance between the clouds

in red and bottle green. 

Mine has been a tangled line

and I'm not sure I know

which way the wind will blow. 

Kite - soaring at such a height

No-one should pull you down

and yet I fear I might.
