Cradling stones
Hold fire bright
As crickets call out
To the moonlight
And as you lean in
To steal a kiss
I'll never need more than this

We all share the pain
Of our histories
But the ache goes away
If you could see
This night under stars
Well I call it peace
If you say ill never need more than this

And the trees grow so thick
You can barely see through
And the forest bestows
All the simplest of truths
And you think you'll be happy
If granted one more wish
But the truth is
You'll never need more
You'll never need more
You'll never need more than this.

Want so much in this life
There's so much to be
We sail through our youth
So impatiently
Until we see
That the years move along
And soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song don't

Live in forgotten times
May this always remind
You of the sea under the skies
You looking glass ?
Lets make this our story
Lets live in the glory
Time it fades away precious as a song
'cause someday we'll be gone

Cradling stones
Hold fire bright.
As we watch the glow
Of the morning light
Someday our bones here they will lie
And so we sing

As the years move along
And soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song
Lets make this our story
Lets live in the glory
Time it fades away precious as a song
'Cause someday we'll be gone

    It is about enjoying the present moment. ITS SO HARD TO DO! Cause we are programmed to think about our future and what's next. At least I feel that way being a twenty something.

    It's a lovely song about reminding oneself to just take it in stride. To look at the trees and nature and to remember that right now is pretty freakin great too.

    I just think the lyrics and the melody are great. I need this kind of song right now!

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
