lyrics

When you were young, you played outside
You'd lay and watch the planes go by

And as they flew into the sky
The seasons passed before your eyes

The love you found was never much
You lost it all when you grew up


You were a songbird in the summer
You were the sun over the lake
You were a cold stone in the river
Nothing could ever make you sway


Then winter came, and in good time
You learned to love yourself alright

You found your friends, you found your war
You found what you'd been searching for

cause you were the wind that blew through the trees
You were a storm and a soft, summer breeze

Yes, you were the one who brought me to life
I knew I was home when i looked in your eyes


so where did you go? cause i need you right now
and i never meant to let you down

Cause you were the ground beneath my feet
yes you were the center of gravity


You were a songbird in the summer
You were a cold and steady rain
"You were the sound of rolling thunder"
And now all that's left is pain



Time marches on to the beat of it's own drum
You know it'll come for us all

and I hope I'm wrong. that these words will carry on
carry on in our children's thoughts
and the songs that they keep in their hearts


your dreams will fade as you grow old
time will start to take it's toll

the leaves will change before you know
the winter winds will start to blow

the world you loved so long ago
has come and gone in soft repose



---



You'll never find that yellow bird
Cause happiness is just a word
