lyrics

harbor lights

through the dark of conifer, needles soft under our feet
we pretended to be wed twisting bread ties into bands
then you ran on home and cried and i waited there, confused
you were such a pretty bride and i'm sure that you are still...
under those harbor lights, they illuminate this town indigo
let's strike a match and watch it burn
i'm not a gardener, but i will reap what i sew
idiot kids...they never learn, just watch me
the underbrush is overgrown at what used to be a place
where the trucks would come and go and we'd watch with sunswept hair
up and down the ninety five, it sounds just like the sea
you had lips of lemonade and i can see you standing there, shining still...
under those harbor lights, they illuminate this town indigo
let's strike a match and watch it burn
i'm not a carpenter, but i'll take my point and drive it home
idiot kids...they never learn, just watch me
you look lovely in your dress and i've outgrown my good shoes
we exchange a heavy breath and we don't care that no one cares
through the silence through the din we'll watch our days play out in years
hand in hand we'll watch the grass grow and brown
grow and brown...and grow again
under these harbor lights, they illuminate this town indigo
let's strike a match and watch it burn
it's not a harbinger, but i'll bet that fire could guide us home
idiot kids...we never learn
