Lyrics

Brand New

They jumped up, all the flowers
All at once, on the hour
I was blue, but now I’m green and yellow and brown
They know the time is right
I sure don’t, just a runaway kite
But boy I like these skies and heartbeats all around

Sometimes I like to wander
Each step I might wonder
Which should be the next one that I take
But the world’s spinning like a cyclone
The light’s dimming, lost my way home
Won’t you take my hand, help me find a way

All my plans are falling over
Fading fast, going nowhere
Who knows maybe yours will too
Then we could walk and be and sing
And I’d love you like anything
Let everyday be brand new

The news must think its funny
Says what matters comes down to money
And if you get too much it’s ok
But like a big hug the world over
Brother sister neighbour lover
We’re in this together in some ancient way

All my plans are falling over
Fading fast, going nowhere
Who knows maybe yours will too
Then we could walk and be and sing
And I’d love you like anything
Let everyday be brand new

Dirt blows against the fence
Of mistakes its evidence
Clearly something bad is going on
These old roads have all been buried
Everybody left in such a hurry
I hope someone still remembers how we’re supposed to get along

There’s sunshine in the clearing
Is that the wind I’m hearing
Blowing my troubles all away
It’s hard not to be suspicious
That’s the price you pay for unmet wishes
Still it sure is nice out here I have to say

All my plans are falling over
Fading fast, going nowhere
Who knows maybe yours will too
Then we could walk and be and sing
And I’d love you like anything
Let everyday be brand new
