Listen - Download Man and wife spent half their life trying to make a family When nothing quite took they wrote them a book filled with stories of the hills and sea And they dreamt up fields of daffodils, dandelion wine and tea Sunshine baths and long winding paths that made them both feel at ease Now in dreams that run wild, a mother and child, look for something fun to do So they start up a band, and do what they can, to learn ‘em a song or two Mom plays guitar like a star and screams ‘til she’s red in the face And son kicks the air without a care and strums the low notes on the bass Now as the sun goes down and the whiskey’s passed ‘round each tale takes a turn for the worse Each line loses time, they fall out of rhyme, and stumble on poetic verse But then out of thin air, it was there, so it must be a blessing not curse Cause the freedom you find in the moment each night is just something that can’t be rehearsed (Instrumental) A friend and lover, that love one another, more than mere words can tell Can’t be together, unless they will weather, all the fury and fire of hell And you can’t judge with reason and rhyme, the emotion that’s felt in the heart So they sail on through waves, in hazardous water, that struggles to tear them apart A man and his wife, wake up to their life, and can’t believe that it’s real Once feeling forlorn, a child born receives all of the love that they feel And they run through fields of daffodils, drink dandelion wine and tea Bask in the sun and walk down the paths that lead them to the hills and sea. |
