lyrics
Sunlight knows the story growing in your neighbor's garden,
leaning out for what nobody promised so easily.
Nothing is so beautiful to bees and little birds.
I see the way to live on through the jubilee, in another garden mysteriously.
And the song won't last,
but you can hear it now.
We are together in a way.
Some flowers only last till afternoon
but new ones bloom everyday.
Moments come and moments stay the same until you tell them
to yourself or anyone who wants to hear a pretty song.
Or any kind of song, along the way I'll change the station on the radio
and turn the music down
when I'm looking for the road that goes to my home town.
And the roads go round, so I act like a child when I want everything I've got.
Some memories never fade but change and fade and fall and grow with every thought.
Moonshine wisdom lights the lake we're floating on and drinking
to the dawn that waits for mermaids to walk away.
One of them was beautiful, though she don't know the reason.
I sing quietly. Not to say goodbye
or to drown a sailor, but just to feel the time.
The nights go round, and how else can you sing it when you think of everyone
you knew, and in another way, you'll still know when the new day has begun.
A promise can be made to make it easy for surrender.
A better way to say it: we are here, it is the way it is.
And maybe if we stay awake and talk until we can't believe the time you'll say
I do believe you now.
Do you still need me
for a wedding vow?
