[verse] the year awakens in a strange sleepy shadowy green flickering as it seems on the branches in the air as I stare at the light through the gaps in the leaves like a thought got stuck and then made suddenly aware [verse] the petals on the flowers are practicing the power to fall but they're all already pretty skilled at letting go the air smells bold from the incense of the old burning on the walls in the halls with the scents of years ago [hook] then you turn around in your soft sun dress with the pressing of your lips as you come to rest on the edge of the bed instead of lying next to me [chorus] i was dreaming as it seems that all the rivers and the streams really weren't what they seem to be this whole time i was dreaming as it seems that the birds and the bees really weren't what they seem to be i was dreaming this whole time [verse] the sun grows heavy at the edges of the hedges and its glow grows tired lifting whats required reservation hesitation as it now must yield at the end of the field we know rest is best but we're still sad when the light retires [verse] the wine tastes bitter though it never tasted better and sweet were the feet of the dances that would lean and sway saying all the things to make me think that it's not the drink laughing with desire like a hot burning fire away away away... [hook] then you turn around in your soft sun dress with the pressing of your lips as you come to rest on the edge of the bed instead of lying next to me [bridge] deep in my chest i feel it best when I reach over and you're not there deep in my chest i feel it best when I reach over and you're not there deep in my chest i feel it best when I reach over and you're not there [chorus] i was dreaming as it seems that all the rivers and the streams really weren't what they seem to be this whole time i was dreaming as it seems that the birds and the bees really weren't what they seem to be i was dreaming this whole time
