Riverside Lyrics
passing fields in a car
there's a girl walking dogs by the riverside
and she wore her
head up tall
in case the tears fall far
now sometimes she thinks i'd
had it all
when i was small
skies gettin wide on the countryside
light gettin in from above
i miss the sun
watching all the trees
feeling like the bedknobs spilt the beans
an old man and his wife
sitting through the afternoon reading books til the night
and they know that something's wrong
everyone's high
as they held each other's hands
their trouble subsides
skies open wide on the countryside
light shooting down from above
i am the sun
nothing's wrong
nothing's wrong, oh no
can't see me
i'm your flowers
can't breathe me
i'm your power
gone, and i'm gone, and i'm gone, and i'm gone
she's unlacing
shirts unwrapping
syntax calm from the flight
arms extend to the clouds above
all our dreams pulling ?unbound?
and they're hearing this sound!
skies open wide on the countryside
light shooting down from above
i am the sun
nothing's wrong
nothing's wrong, oh no
there's a girl walking dogs by the riverside
and she wore her
head up tall
in case the tears fall far
now sometimes she thinks i'd
had it all
when i was small
light gettin in from above
i miss the sun
watching all the trees
feeling like the bedknobs spilt the beans
sitting through the afternoon reading books til the night
and they know that something's wrong
everyone's high
as they held each other's hands
their trouble subsides
light shooting down from above
i am the sun
nothing's wrong
nothing's wrong, oh no
i'm your flowers
can't breathe me
i'm your power
gone, and i'm gone, and i'm gone, and i'm gone
shirts unwrapping
syntax calm from the flight
arms extend to the clouds above
all our dreams pulling ?unbound?
and they're hearing this sound!
light shooting down from above
i am the sun
nothing's wrong
nothing's wrong, oh no

"she's unlacing" is "shoes unlacing"... silly mistake, sorry.
This song is awesome!!! But what does the lyrics mean? in what way the "old man and his wife" are related to the girl in the first part? I don't think they are related, so there are 2 separate stories?
