lyrics

Falling softly down
The moonlight bathes the town
And the daylight starts to drown away
Sleeping free from dreams
Is harder than it seems
When the stars aren’t forgiving anything
The sweetest rememberings
Are the things that you haven't seen
Like a newborn promising to breathe

The best thing that you can hope for is some shade
But it's the kind of thing that changes through the day

Summer passes by
without giving a reason why
And we're saying goodbye before me meet
So I drink up the watershed
Where the river is running red
And the words that were left for dead repeat

Newness is new to me
And I'm shaking like a leaf
But I thinking of other things right now
The distance is deafening but
Sometimes it seems to me
The hearts are still beating out a sound
