A day once dawned, and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night, she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night, she fell all around
So look, see the days
The endless colored ways
And go play the game that you learned
From the morning
And now we rise
We are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
See, she flies
She is everywhere
See, she flies all around
So look, see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learned
From the morning
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night, she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night, she fell all around
So look, see the days
The endless colored ways
And go play the game that you learned
From the morning
And now we rise
We are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
See, she flies
She is everywhere
See, she flies all around
So look, see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learned
From the morning

There is much duality represented. Rising from the ground (day dawning) and endless colored ways seems to be a flower blooming or a good memory.The air at night is beautiful brings to mind photosynthesis (funny I know) as the night air would be clean. Blooms are what we are; like a flower. At night she falls and flies all around is a flower closing up at night or perhaps the pollen flying around. I also get the impression of romance in this song to perhaps the playfulness of sexuality. There is a vibe here of being so liberated in spirit that a rebirth or transformation has occurred. Out of body. He is involved but enjoys observing her spirit uplifted.
He is like a painter that paints himself as a small character in the scenes. So much humility.
@Mihubris I like your interpretation, I see this as a romantic song. Sunrise=The beginning. Sunset=The Beautiful nights together. The days created a wonderful Love story that was as exciting as the first time. The affection and Love grew so that she was all he thought about, thus she was everywhere to him. Endless summer nights they continued with this Love game <br /> they learned to play from the beginning. Very Romantic Story.
