lyrics

Now breathe – your soul’s in the top of the trees
And still floating –
Get a hold of your head, Mr. One-Glass-of-Red,
’Cause the hour just turned golden.
Hey – we don’t have to be how they say –
Like fireworks exploding.
There’s a million and one ways to live and have fun
But be still – drink in the moment!

That green-eyed old fox, and that willow that weeps
Over fair Iffley Lock, put my thinking at peace.
'Til I say, “Maybe some days
Last you forever”.

I can’t believe this day is ending –
As chimney tops catch the last light,
I wanna see it all. Wanna climb up the walls!
May the clock never hit twelve tonight.
We’ll rewind the sun as it’s setting,
And dance with each well-chosen guest –
Wanna clear all the plates in this banquet of grace
And leave with the man I love best.

Look – we’re walking through a storybook –
Friends, ain’t it splendid?
Charge your glasses, watch out – for an hour, thereabouts,
Newton’s laws are suspended!
Find a game passer-by to take along for the ride
We’re divinely befriended

And we start to float off, still hitched to our moorings,
Carrying colours aloft,
And we’re dancing like kite-strings can do.
What a strange crew – flying together

I sent out all my invitations to all creatures wondrous and wild –
This one giant leap was never mankind’s to keep,
And none of nature need get left behind.
I can’t believe this day is ending
With you and me touching the clouds,
Singing Sonny and Cher
Out of key in mid-air
While the neighbours complain on the ground.

Let’s rewind the sun as it’s setting
Fire to windows and rooftops and spires.
Now, life has been cruel –
But I’m a fortunate fool.
Some days give you
Your heart's desires.

Come and see –
We’re not at home to Mr. Gravity
