Wish we were like trees- she said
We’d grow tall & strong & green towards the sky
And our roots would drink
Sweet fresh water from the center of the earth

Summer 3 pm and we talk our lives away
Into the dead of silence of northwestern afternoon
And the weight of the shade
Of the leaves over my back will never be As heavy as the sun

River is moving and so is the screen of the game of life
These days are burning like fireworks lets go out and see the night
Morning is orange and blue now there is no time for heavy hearts

Oh in dreams I’ve felt that branches were meant to melt
Into a flock of birds that fly far away
But moon of my mind
Has made me sleep so tight
Siesta streets are a mystery to see

River is moving and so is the screen of the game of life
These days are burning like fireworks lets go out and see the night
Morning is orange and blue now there is no time for heavy hearts

The winds ceased and the clouds,
Heavier now, stood still above
The willow tree in the patio

River is moving and so is the screen of the game of life
These days are burning like fireworks lets go out and see the night
Morning is orange and blue now there is no time for heavy hearts
