I lay in the forest amongst the butterflies and the fireflies
|
And the burning horses and the flaming trees
|
As a spiral of children climb up to the sun
|
Waving goodbye to you and goodbye to me
|
As the past pulls away and the future begins
|
I say goodbye to all that as the future rolls in
|
Like a wave, like a wave
|
And the past, with its savage undertow, lets go
|
Come on, everyone, come on, everyone
|
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun
|
To the sun, to the sun, and on each golden rung
|
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun
|
And a man called Jesus, He promised He would leave us
|
With a word that would light up the night, oh, the night
|
But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one
|
And it isn’t any fun, no, it isn’t any fun
|
To be standing here alone with nowhere to be
|
With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief
|
And everybody hanging from a tree, from a tree
|
And everybody hanging from a tree
|
Come on, everyone, come on, everyone
|
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun
|
To the sun, to the sun, taking everyone
|
A spiral of children climbs up to the sun
|
There is nothing more valuable than beauty, they say
|
There is nothing more valuable than love
|
And I lie amongst the leaves and the burning trees
|
And the fields of smoke and the black butterflies
|
And the screaming horses and your bright green eyes, so beautiful
|
Ah, your bright green eyes, so beautiful
|
I am here beside you
|
Look for me in the sun
|
I am beside you, I am within
|
In the sunshine, in the sun |
