Lyrics

its been a long time since I forgot
once again the sunshine hits the spot
i join in with all the absent-minded birdsong
now that the clouds are nearly gone

a bleached sky opens over me
these feathers start to lose their shape
but our love is strong
so much stronger than out fate
the butterfly sings a sad song
but its okay
we both know how quickly things can change

i spend the days out in the fields to balance out the nights
none of this seems real when i'm shrouded in this natural light
like dandelion spores
trapped in a downpour
sometimes i just want to be absolved
but i sit with you watching the raindrops fall

its been a long time since i forgot
its such a relief to feel the warmth

a silkworm is never aware of how treasured it is
comsumed in its bordem and saddened by his
slowly spinning the threads that have helped me to live
while losing momentum
with all the stress that they bring

you've become like all the hedgrerows
held down by a line of twine
its been such a long time since you were standing
your flowers only open at night
the birds are singing a different tune now
and only they know why
the summer plays out like a sycamore seed as june turns into july.
