lyrics

He might have been a wanderer without a care
Never knowing whether he was here or there
But he just can't bring himself to cut his ties
With the girl with the smile and the earth-brown eyes

The first time he saw her she seemed so sublime
He said life might be bearable if she were mine
I'd have rings on her fingers, bells on her toes
So the music would follow wherever she goes

Met on the mountain in the August heat
No place to hide, no place to retreat
And every word she spoke was a shooting star
A setting sun, a shot of rum, a call to war.

If life is a dream can a broken heart
Shake the sleep from its eyes and make a brand new start
Or is it better to surrender to the printed text
Read on hoping blindly for whatever happens next?

The seasons are changing as the sun ordains
And the summer's gone and memory alone remains
But he just can't bring himself to cut his ties
With the girl with the smile and the earth-brown eyes.
