lyrics

Summer finds me in silence
Without a stage to tread
Far from the noise and the violence
Of the scene that I have fled
I find myself in the quietness
I was hard to find
All of my life I was looking
Pretended I didn't mind

Don’t want to go nowhere else, when I know
The land is a gladsome round
Have you ever seen more blue or more green
Has there been a peace more profound
Than the here and now

A changeling came to the wilderness
In search of the same release
You can wear any old.costume she.tells me
Layer it piece by piece
But nothing suits like the truth does it
Nothing is easier to wear
All.of the clothes that you had in your closet
Have vanished into the air

Maybe we'll drift like cargo ships
Maybe we'll stay as friends
With secrets we trade like casino chips
Maybe it just depends
I like to think that one day
We'll remember the fun we had
We'll talk over gin and a biscuit tin
Of the good things we did and the bad
