|
A hot and windy august afternoon |
|
Has the trees in constant motion |
|
With a flash of silver leaves |
|
As they're rocking in the breeze |
|
The boy lies in the grass with one blade |
|
Stuck between his teeth |
|
A vague sensation quickens |
|
In his young and restless heart |
|
And a bright and nameless vision |
|
Has him longing to depart |
|
You move me --- |
|
You move me --- |
|
With your buildings and your eyes |
|
Autumn woods and winter skies |
|
You move me --- |
|
You move me --- |
|
Open sea and city lights |
|
Busy streets and dizzy heights |
|
You call me --- |
|
You call me --- |
|
The fawn-eyed girl with sun-browned legs |
|
Dances on the edge of his dream |
|
And her voice rings in his ears |
|
Like the music of the spheres |
|
The boy lies in the grass, unmoving |
|
Staring at the sky |
|
His mother starts to call him |
|
As a hawk goes soaring by |
|
The boy pulls down his baseball cap |
|
And covers up his eyes |
|
Too many hands on my time |
|
Too many feelings --- |
|
Too many things on my mind |
|
When i leave i don't know |
|
What i'm hoping to find |
|
When i leave i don't know |
|
What i'm leaving behind... |
