lyrics

the wind bustled through my hair
where we were driving, don't know, don't care
i was glad to have made some friends
to feel a car purr and heave round bends

and the light of the sun had an ease
all yellow and long through the trees
and we parked on a slope of grass
but this does not, no it does not
belong to me

we slept in a tree in the woods
and woke when those strange birds said we should
i stumbled through a simple round maze
feeling the weight of my own sticky gaze

and the fire glowed orange at night
throwing up soot and smoke in our eyes
and the lake was suspiciously still
but this does not, no it does not
belong to me

we were poised on our bikes as on toys
peddling homeward like cold little boys
i could see myself scanning it all
as if i could keep everything i could recall

but it slipped through my hands like a rope
oh that presence that keeps us afloat
and i chase down these but in vain
because they do, no they do not
belong to me

in the night after having our fill
i held you so close until
i felt a seed of that fear, yes i know
you'dve held on and never let go

so faced with this naked fear
i let it go, let all disappear
but i'll hold on now so long
so that you will
belong to me
