lyrics

Woke up today and swept the floors
I heard you weeping by the bedside
Remove the dirt, open the doors
I’m neat and tidy for new feelings.

It seems like oh, just yesterday,
When we were pushing for that ceiling
Living wild and acting free
And forgiving when it was needed.

Hopeful times and loud parades
Birthday candles on your face
Oh, what trying times..

Walked out the door into the wind
I heard you humming with the willows,
In every step of crunching snow
It’s your drumming I hear beating
The rumbling of motorcars
Is a bass line that you’ve been feeding,
The chirping birds above my head
They’re a melody that you’re swelling.

Precious time and heated rage,
Arguments for a lonely stage
Oh, what trying times..
Oh, what trying times..

Woke up today and stayed in bed
I heard you singing from the park side
A lovely tune that was your own
And I was laying there applauding

It seems like oh, just yesterday,
When we were pushing for that ceiling
Bluebird sing from beneath the skin,
No longer hide amongst the shadows.
