John & Mary

Easter
Tomorrow's never far off if you can hear the toll of the bellDays of thrill, adventures when you had me under your spellWhen we'd ride the midnight trolley to make the end of the dayOn a cloudless night while galaxies twinkled away.But on a darkened journey, I prayed my patience would lastI put aside my future for a way to return to the pastWhen we had our time in the spotlight but stayed out late in the rainWith the pale and fleeting flowers all melting away.Oh, what a feeling is holding meI wasn't fooled by the passing of daysI just couldn't see.There's a storm of cherry petals, a pink and grey wedding cakeBut the morning bell rings and the city is finally awake.Oh, for a mysteryWhen the whole world's in loveThere's hopeFor silly me.I've heard of scattered lovers living lives of quiet despairI never got the message, if you called, I just wasn't thereI keep dreaming of a mountain, I wake up just as you fallTo a trembling candle while shadows dance on the wall.Just a trembling candle while shadows dance on the wall.
