Fireworks

From the album "Carried" - Purchase at itunes - / carried
We met at night on the 4th of July
You were the light and I butterfly
And there were fireworks right from the start
two young souls shining in the dark.
I knew our prospects were so very good
you were my Marian, I your Robin Hood
but expectations were maybe too high
each day can’t be like the fourth of July
fireworks fade as they fall from the sky.
Fireworks fade, fireworks fade
And then somehow, it all went away
The early sparks: embers of gray
Between us, a canyons divide
with me on the left and you on the right
and so far to the other side
But here in this moment now looking back
we were so young the more the earth circled the sun
we would be fine.
Fireworks fade, fireworks fade
But there will be fireworks another day
A few years later, here in the park
my hand in yours, one in the dark
our broken seams mended and sure
all eyes fixed on a trail of light,
as fireworks blaze so unearthly bright.
Fireworks fade, fireworks fade
But there will be fireworks another day
