lyrics

The forest it stood
Around us like friends
Or a fortress where mottled light
Escaped to meet the ground below us
We were looking at it
More than we were one another

But the words I heard
They talked with mine
I used to be so shy
Hiding under the roof
Of a little tent of quiet
Til we were alone in the park

I imagine walking with you
To feed the ducks in the park
In the morning I pitch my tent
Under an apple pie sky
I walk around
You are beside me

I love bookstores
And your second-hand clothes
There was laughter in the sunshine
And we pushed our bikes
Through a forest
Leaving animals in stitches
All day long

We wound alongside bookshelves
Intwined with honeysuckle
Look out!
But of course
Surrounded by fallen books
And buttercups

I imagine walking with you
To feed the ducks in the park
Eavesdropping on all the embroidery
Of sounds weaving together
The rhythm and blues
Of the beautiful bluebells
You are beside me

You are beside me

We met under the stars
With a torch and a book of maps
We navigated through
Wild paths and sleepy lanes

We climbed into the treehouse
As night fell
The stars had waited for a witness
It was us
And as we slept
They danced.

The sound of a great band finding their voice. I love these songs, they did some things that they probably wouldn't do now. Jack Kitzerow

stumbled upon the title number earlier this year and proceeded to fall down a The Beths-obsessed hole! I love head in the clouds & knees deep SO much, but expert in a dying field is still my number one. I adore the demo version! zucchinini
