lyrics

The moonlight poured over the pines like money
Your begonias needed rain
A hurricane sat down beside me
I started over on the train

Transparent I’m a screen door slider
We watched the mountains melt away
Riding easy down the line beside her
Without the need to hesitate

Well someone spun it round
Time and sound mean nothing
High above the town
When you find beauty in the pain
Well it’s my first day here
Do you have a name

When the sunlight spilled over the hills like honey
You were the reason for champagne
Frankie whistled and raised the glass
Here’s to all we can’t explain

Swift drifter I can feel you with me
You don’t’ believe in fear at all
I heard a voice way down in the valley
They won’t believe in what I saw

Well someone spun it right
Time and sound mean nothing
By the fire light
When you care nothing for the past
Well it’s my first day here
Don’t let it be my last
Yeah

Someone spun it round
Time and sound mean nothing
High above the town
When you find beauty in the pain
Well it’s my first day here
I’ll never be the same
I’ll never be the same
I’ll never be
