lyrics
Here's an acorn, and an empty shell,
Ring a bell, for something new today...
and its always today.
New voices, trying it out,
Rising up they sparkle and fade,
Its a brand new day.
(Chorus)
All these lines...
intertwine...
All these minds...
Beyond Space and...
Dandelion Wine
Dandelion Wine
Down here, under the trees,
well, its always a nursery.
all the way down, to the bottom of the roots.
Here's a glow from a faerie ring,
Hear the voices, bubbling uo from the spring.
Everybody sing!
(Chorus)
A drop of water evaporates...
She's gone to join her sisters in the clouds...
so celebrate, dance and sing.
Ring a bell, its a brand new day.
My heart fills up, and overflows...
Right out my eyes.
(Chorus)
The sun breaks down through the trees.
New voices rising up through the leaves...
They waver and shout, trying it out.
Another flash of moving light.
A spontaneous dance of the soul,
In the morning air, everywhere.
(Chorus)
Here's a slab, that's out of place,
But it's covered in so much beautiful moss
The words have left no trace...
All these tardigrades are spanking new.
And its always surprising, too.
Here's another drop of water,
Reaching for the sky...
(Chorus)
A drop of water evaporates...
She's gone to join her sisters in the clouds,
So celebrate, dance and sing...
Ring a bell it's a brand new day.
My heart fills up, and overflows,
Right out my eyes.
All these lines...
Intertwine...
All these minds...
Beyond Space and...
