🎵 Opal Lights

[Verse 1] The island got quieter somewhere along the way The tractors quit racing through the middle of the sands that day The balloons all escaped and the bubbles lost their fight But still see them drifting in the opal lights Don’t know if elephants ever crossed the sky Or if that was just a story to make a young one like me smile But some nights when the ocean and the moon are just right Mmm yeah, could swear they can be seen walking through the opal lights [Chorus] Missing the days When the world was wide.. endless even When every little wonder had a place to hide and ya know Maybe nothing lasts Maybe that’s alright ’Cause nothing really leaves you in the opal lights [Verse 2] Back then it was gibber-gabber, nonsense and noise The kind of language only understood by us little ones Now everybody’s talking but the room don’t feel as bright As those old conversations in the opal lights WoWo used to laugh like she knew something we didn’t Like the whole world wasn’t nearly as serious as it seemed [Chorus] Miss the days When the world was wide… endless even When every little wonder had a place to hide and ya know Maybe nothing lasts Maybe that’s alright ’Cause nothing really leaves you in the opal lights [Bridge] Maybe growing older isn’t losing what you thought ya knew Maybe it’s discovering the magic followed right along with you In every song written In every dream at night Can't we find another piece of it Waiting in the opal light [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Miss the days But they’re not gone They’re humming in the places where the old songs carry on And when the island calls, yeah Mmm still hear it right Somewhere beyond memory In the opal lights [Outro] Still humming... Yeah, somewhere beyond memory. In the opal lights. [End]
