When I woke from miles away, I told myself I'd come right back to you
My life and death reversed, I knew it wouldn't last
But I starved the wicked future right down to its bloody ribs
Waiting till I felt like getting older
And as this love melts down the years
I pay my tithes in golden tears
But I've still got the young man's game to play
The sunset of these summit days
The streets are bathed in the same old rays
But I'll walk on and see my past away
Ooh, birdsong between my ears
Singing solstice now that came and went too soon
Ooh, laugh by the waterside
Sink into the loving lake and meet the moon
Woah-oh
Now I'll be running to our inlet by the wooded path
The only blessed place that we could be in peace
And we'll be in our finest fantasy
You know you mean the world to me
I could sleep forever on your shoulder
A moment dear is all I need
I wish it were eternity
But I've still got the young man's debt to pay
A sunset on our little lake
Naught but everything at stake
Will you be kind to me, my burning day
Ooh, birdsong between my ears
Singing solstice now that came and went too soon
Ooh, laugh by the waterside
Sink into the loving lake and meet the moon
Meet the moon, oh
Meet the moon, oh
Meet the moon, oh
Meet the moon, oh
