lyrics

If you knew
how I sleep in your house
turning with the morning

Bells sound
like some bird calling
loud as a wave that carries me

Down the hill
I can see for miles
Things I’ve seen before
Shadows + light, cast over buildings and vines, mmm

Moonflowers, moonflowers and telephone lines

If you knew -
what the light does
How day can take away
Visions I’ve seen carried on by

When you come back, no illusions
Cast against the white broken sky
blanched from summer on black dusty hill

Moonflowers, moonflowers and telephone lines
Magnolias and avocado trees
flowing down toward the city lights
and your shadow coming up that hill

Tropical birds -
or that’s how they sound to me
some piercing kind of beauty
some other life that I could live with you
or just a sign of the strife I’ve felt all this time

How day can take away
some things never meet
then never to break away

Moonflowers, moonflowers and telephone lines
Magnolias and avocado trees
flowing down toward the city lights
your shadow coming up that hill
