歌詞

On the second day of June Beneath an almost crescent moon We played echoes with the fireflies You were almost 17 On the bright side of a dream Blowing kisses to the paperboy And a ribbon that we drew On Magnolia Avenue Was September before they washed away We were driving in the dark Getting lost in Echo Park Heard the 'elujahs on the radio At the tolling of a bell With rays of sunlight, morning fell Clouds cast shadows on the fields below All my words come tumbling down Like violets in your curls Oh, maybe it's just this kind of man That goes diving for a pearl Tell all my shackles and chains Come off, I'm welded to the world Was that so long ago? With my ankles in the sand Holding water in my hand Disappearing beneath the shallow sea You were running with balloons Some were yellow, some were blue Tied a message and you let them go What I wanted to convey Though it was more than could say Was how beautiful I thought that was You were almost 17 On the bright side of a dream Blowing kisses to the paperboy All my words come tumbling down Like violets in your curls Oh, maybe it's just this just this kind of man That goes diving for a pearl Tell all my shackles and chains Come off, I'm welded to the world All my leaves come autumning down Like mountains full of birds Maybe it's just this just this kind of man That goes diving for a pearl Tell all my wheels and gears Come off, I'm welded to the world Was that so long ago? Was that so long ago?
