lyrics

The sun is rising over the eastern shore.
I’m driving away from you but I don’t know why.
I dreamed you were weightless floating over a velvet bay,
listening low just like the days when we first met

Who knows how sparks will sound?
Who knows where soft spots are found?
Who knows when those little lambs gonna come around?

This year’s waning summer leaves are running dark red,
Clasping to shaky branches swaying in the wind.
Now we’ve got friends who are barely holding on these days.
You are all ever wanted anyway.

O my love she ripens on the vine and I find
Every taste grows sweeter with time and besides
I must be drunk on her vintage wine or am I
Lost and found in the grand design of space and time
I saw a sign

Made the bridge with the evening sun going down.
Autumn rains rolling all the way home to the velvet bay.
Nobody knows if there’s a before or after life.
Oh honey you know I must have done something right.

Who knows how hearts are bound?
Who knows why these bonds grow sound?
Who knows what draws your lovin’ arms around?

O my love she ripens on the vine and I find
Every taste grows sweeter with time and besides
I think I’m drunk on this vintage wine or am I
Lost and found in the grand design of space and time
I saw a sign, I saw a sign, I saw a sign
