lyrics

Here we are,
the streetlights blink with a steady song
the summer children all move along
and down the way there's a friendly
place to know
to practice words 'til they come and go
a story sent down from long ago
sirens in the watchful stars.

Night falling on the two now
see it through and through, now
pick it up and go
I'd follow if I knew how
see it through and through, now
pick it up and go

You might say
"the sweet tooth fairy just took along
the last remains of a growing song and
when awake there's a little
place to walk,
lie down low by the river rocks
slip away underneath the docks,
bury all that you want to keep.”
