[00:13.23]If I mistook
[00:15.26]The sun for a mango
[00:17.38]I'd fly up there and reach for it too
[00:22.24]It's the story of something older
[00:26.50]And bigger than me and you
[00:31.32]And you told it
[00:33.33]In a letter
[00:35.65]In the form of an evergreen cassette
[00:40.10]And I played it
[00:42.23]In the morning
[00:44.89]Till after the sun would set
[00:47.43]..
[00:49.12]See, mother I believe
[00:52.75]That half of everything I hear is true
[00:57.23]Between you and me
[01:00.74]I believe the anecdotes too
[01:03.79]..
[01:06.22]In the verandah
[01:09.23]In the midnight heat
[01:11.90]Cousins and I would wait for the rains
[01:15.95]Singing songs about America
[01:20.81]And then the first drops came
[01:23.70]..
[01:24.87]So don't worry
[01:27.00]Even though you were
[01:29.75]Oceans and continents away
[01:33.83]I heard evergreen hits, lullabies
[01:38.69]And everything you had to say
[01:41.53]..
[01:43.14]See, mother I believe
[01:46.57]That half of everything I hear is true
[01:50.99]Between you and me
[01:54.49]I believe the anecdotes too
[02:00.17]If they get you through
[02:03.18]..
[02:06.90]If time, time could be bent with the drop of a tear
[02:12.59]You'd see it rained in our house for a year
[02:16.96]This is the sound of the beating you'd hear
[02:23.73]All the tapes we've taped over all of our hopes and our fears
[02:30.31]The open verandah's been flooding for years
[02:34.86]I always hope that I'd see you here
[02:42.66]Ahah..
[02:46.17]Ahahah..
[02:50.77]Ahah..
[02:54.08]Ahahah..
[03:00.79]But time, time can't be bent with the drop of a tear
[03:06.07]And though you say you missed out all of those years
[03:10.58]Your voice on the tapes always kept us near
[03:14.79]..
[03:18.59]See, mother I believe
[03:21.91]That half of everything I hear is true
[03:26.40]Between you and me
[03:29.88]I believe in everything you do
