lyrics

[some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs...]

Bright-eyed sunbeam
Tripped over Gulf Stream
Nervous he would pale and whither when he met up with you
So away he flew
But he took a tale of you up to the moon

Timid moonlight
Waits for the nighttime
Peeps her little head through the clouds, just a-thinkin’ she might
Catch a little sight
Of what the sunbeam told her of that night

But it was so much more than words could say
So all the earth stood still that day
With your sun-bright hips and your moonlight lips
And your wind-swept words and your sap-sweet kiss
They just wanted for you to know

Then soft-lipped north winds
Whisper on by, then
Stop right there in their tracks to make a southward bend
Just to see you again
Cuz you were so much more than the moonlight described to them

Trembling trees
Get caught in the breeze
And scratch upon my window, relentless, till I beg them to cease
And just tell me, please
But it’s only words of you that they release

But it was so much more than words could say
So all the earth stood still that day
With your sun-bright hips and your moonlight lips
And your wind-swept words and your sap-sweet kiss
They just wanted for you to know

And then you come and sit down with me
Right beneath your window pane
And tell me ‘bout your vacuum heart
Those six whole years you spent
Living alone, oh
Living alone

Now night is calling
Stars are falling
Earth is stalling, stalling
Yes, it’s stalling for you
Stalling for you
