Lyrics (unofficial)

Creek still runs while the sun
My heart sky hue is a child's eye blue
Banks of green
Smell of sorrow unseen
Until today
Life's sweet decay

Shadows fall on my wall
My head made of sand
Oh I understand
Forest breathes out
Summer leaves today
Life's sweet decay

I could love her
As dry roots love the rain
I could hold you
As branches in the wind brandish petals
Forgive me for speaking so soon

Let your heart look on
Watch seaspray and be lonely
Lovers are fools star
A ring of stars
They mention my name
And then forget me
Lovers are fools star

Creek still runs while the sun
My heart sky hue is a child's eye blue
Banks of green
Smell of sorrow unseen
Until today
Life's sweet decay

I could love you
As dry roots love the rain
I could hold you
As branches in the wind brandish petals
Forgive me for speaking so soon

I could love you
As dry roots love the rain
I could hold you
As branches in the wind brandish petals
Forgive me for speaking so soon

I could love you
I could love you
I could love you
