Fireside - Mostly Autumn

Oh you sleep, you wake, you move

You shake off the tears

And touch everything you see

Looking for clues

Reach for her voice

The birds, the grass, the summer grows

In between, underneath, follow you, follow me

Oh you sleep, you wake, you move

The first time you crawl in the water you know

Life is an ocean, how far does it go?

Sandcastles crumble, your kingdom is lost

Head for the shelter, head for the rocks

So you stand, you walk to school

The more you look, you learn, you lose

Willing the hours, longing for home

The summer days they last forever

You catch her eyes, you follow the trail

Hand in hand, together alone

The first time you touch her

You’re out of your mind

You would do anything just for release

Love is an ocean, how deep will it go?

Falling, falling, falling

A billion candles alight in your heart

Turn up the moonlight, dance with her soul

This is the song, you’ll never let go

Never let go

Losing control

Oh, you wake, you sleep, you drive

City to city to country, they all collide

You take for granted

The things that you value the most

You take her for granted

The song slips away like a ghost

She closes the door and tears out your heart

Just the fool who lost it all

She is a memory, a far away world

Pass me the ladder, I’ll climb to the moon

You can see better up there don’t you know?

Hoping, praying, hurting

But love is a diamond, an ocean of light

Just as you lose her, she falls back in sight

This time it’s for real, this time it’s for life

Turn up the song

Holding together we gaze at the stars

There is the silence we wonder how far

This story goes, how will it end?

Fill up the glass, fill it my friend
