Lyrics
There's a playground in my heart.
And i try to talk about it, so many times.
Visions I have that save me.
But, I don't want to, want to waste your time.
So bring me to earth annd use me up -
Cause I must speak into the hearts of so many lives.
Crown the King that made me.
Gave me eyes to see what lies behind the fire.
And, You wait inside -
the rapture of somebody's smile.
And you speak like rain - You know everybody is searching everybody.
So, hold out your arms and gather up the finest recollections you ever had.
Songbirds and dew in the morning,
sweet fragrance of clover and your mama's gravy.
That's love and fascination with the better part of nature and sacrifice.
The kitchen, a warm bath, a story -
connect the simple and the graceful, the apple and the spire.
And, You wait inside -
the refuge of your mother's heart.
So you must fall, fall from grace -
to penetrate the darkness and bloom.
Love and fascination
Love and fascination
Love and fascination
And, You wait inside -
the refuge of your mother's heart.
So you must fall, fall from grace -
to penetrate the darkness and bloom.
Love and fascination
Love and fascination
Love and fascination.
mmmmm....
