la pluie tombe comme les lèvres d'anges et je sais pour une fois que c'est la félicité
From youth to regret
To innocence and death
Nothing gold can stay
So savor this each day
The sun is low on the horizon
Watching from a steady distance
I stare at the solid cement reflecting firelight skies
No rhyme or reason to their unearned glory and I can’t help but wonder why
Toes firmly rooted to the ground
Beneath those of the trees are found
Splayed like fallen hands in soil
Seems like they’re only thing that’s nourishment isn’t oil
Rosebuds peeking through the tall grass
Finding sun at long last
And when the moon does come to play
Folding like wings in silent wait
Clouds above and earth below
Rumbling rain and thunder grow
Liquid pieces of the sky fall
Like stars that rain on heavens face
Coating everything with their soft call
Laying nothing but themselves to waste
I open up my lips to taste the air
Fallen, fresh and full of grace
Flowing deep down inside of me, washing away my disgrace
Mistakes are worth making for moments like this
When eternity aligns and pain’s replaced with blinded bliss
Each drop so pure an angels kiss Upon these undeserving lips
I lean my head back and just let go
No more stories to solve or facts to know
Some may want sunshine’s soft fiery gaze
But I prefer this damp haze
And if they ask for me I won’t show
Here forever in the acquiescent afterglow
To innocence and death
Nothing gold can stay
So savor this each day
The sun is low on the horizon
Watching from a steady distance
I stare at the solid cement reflecting firelight skies
No rhyme or reason to their unearned glory and I can’t help but wonder why
Toes firmly rooted to the ground
Beneath those of the trees are found
Splayed like fallen hands in soil
Seems like they’re only thing that’s nourishment isn’t oil
Rosebuds peeking through the tall grass
Finding sun at long last
And when the moon does come to play
Folding like wings in silent wait
Clouds above and earth below
Rumbling rain and thunder grow
Liquid pieces of the sky fall
Like stars that rain on heavens face
Coating everything with their soft call
Laying nothing but themselves to waste
I open up my lips to taste the air
Fallen, fresh and full of grace
Flowing deep down inside of me, washing away my disgrace
Mistakes are worth making for moments like this
When eternity aligns and pain’s replaced with blinded bliss
Each drop so pure an angels kiss Upon these undeserving lips
I lean my head back and just let go
No more stories to solve or facts to know
Some may want sunshine’s soft fiery gaze
But I prefer this damp haze
And if they ask for me I won’t show
Here forever in the acquiescent afterglow
