Sifters |
Sound is a wave, like a wave on the ocean |
Moon plays the ocean like a violin |
Pushing and pulling from shore to shore |
Biggest melody you never heard before |
If I were the night sky |
Here’s my lullaby |
Lullaby to leave by |
If I were the night |
What if we hadn’t been born at the same time? |
What if you’re seventy five and I were nine? |
Would I come visit you? |
Bring you cookies in an old folks home? |
Would you be there alone? |
And when the late summer lightning |
Fires off in your arms |
Will I remember to breathe? |
No, I never will, no |
And the fire could convince you that I mean you no harm |
Just wanna show you how not to need |
What if we hadn’t been each other at the same time? |
Would you tell me all the stories |
From when you were young and in your prime? |
Would I rock you to sleep? |
Would you tell me all the secrets you don’t need to keep? |
Would I still miss you? |
Oh, would you then |
Have been mine? |
Sound is a wave, like a wave on the ocean |
Moon plays the ocean like a violin |
Pushing and pulling from shore to shore |
Biggest melody you never heard before |
