lyrics

Wish I could write the song, the type of ballad long that would amaze ya
A cool laid back number like I hear from those denim nasal gazers
Wish I could sing like a bird the ones that can be heard in yonder meadow
Colour your pathway in a blaze of red and golden yellows

Wish I could write the words, ones you've never heard yet have been needing
That take you back to cinnamon and wax and early feelings
I could have brought you it all, before you took the call and left unsaid
The way things work, I should have been the first to leave instead

Different shade sister and brothers
Live one way live another

Wish I lived in canyon times, wind chime climes, eternal spring
Hours in my ivory tower finishing off the next big thing
But touching ground I took a look around unsure
Still doing all the stuff that don't work inside me anymore

All the same sister and brothers
Live one way live another

Wish I lived in canyon times, wind chime climes, eternal spring
Hours in my ivory tower finishing off the next big thing
Wish I lived in canyon times, wind chime climes, eternal spring
Hours in my ivory tower finishing off the next big thing
