April, nothing to wait for when
May comes, Sun is in us
Side step everything real to do
Sprinting into the crowd
At night I wake up where the grass is green
And time is just a garden full
That's growing all the while
I see the lovers that I used to know
And laugh about mistakes we make
Where hiraeth looks so sweet
And hiraeth, longing lies to me
June comes, hearts only dented when
July beats on your back
My work thawing to great escape
Dog days beckoning me
At night I wake up where the grass is green
And time is just a garden full
That's growing all the while
I see the lovers that I used to know
And laugh about mistakes we make
Where hiraeth looks so sweet
And hiraeth, all longing lies to me
Hiraeth, longing lie to me
Hiraeth, won't you lie a little more?
I know it can't last but give me this dream
Where everything's forgotten that broke my spirit
I know it isn't true but I just love the thought
Of somewhere far behind me where I once had it right
It's just out of reach, it's slipping away,
That everlasting summer far beyond what was real
I've got too many damn feelings to be staying here long
But gimme just a minute I can wait for the alarm
At night I wake up where the grass is green
And time is just a garden full
That's growing all the while
I see the lovers that I used to know
And laugh about mistakes we make
Where hiraeth looks so sweet
And hiraeth, all longing lies to me
