about

A little romantic diversion on a summer evening

lyrics

fireflies light up the forest canopy
when you turn you smile and you look at me
I think we're lost, do you know the way home?
I shrug my shoulders, you begin to laugh

I've been lost out in the stars forever
The fireflies are like the stars are here
Do you know the song of time, can you sing a little rhyme?
Pressing your lips to mine as if to say
The song is life.

It's still life
Even if you don't love it
It's still life
To think nothing of it

And the Heineken
sitting in
the shimmering light
Of the table
And the Budweiser behind
It's a still life for your mind


Out on the rocks the river rushes by
I like the way you feel right by my side
And the story that I'm telling to you
Is almost too good to be true
Too good to be true
Is that what I mean to you?
Too good to be true
Is that what you mean to me?

Out in the night the stars begin to laugh at us
We're older now, you'd think that we'd have gained their trust
There are tricksters in the forest casting shadows
There are silhouettes cast against the sky

And we're lost out in the stars forever
The poet says that we never left
Do you know the song of time?
Can you sing a little rhyme?
Pressing your lips to mine
As if to say the song is life

Still life, even if you don't love it
Still life, to think nothing of it
To good to be true
Is that what I mean to you?
To good to be true
Is that what you mean to me?
