My days are falling like petals on a slow stream They pile up and slip away to the spaces in between Couple got the light that's shining all the time Some are fading black and losing all their shine And when I learn to fall and close my eyes I'm gonna shine all the time My days are written on sheets of blue and green Folded now and ripped apart, not like they've always been Throw 'em away when the time comes around To pack it up, tear it down, and clear on out of town And when I learn to lay me down and sleep Then you know I'm doing fine If I find a stand of trees, a place to call my own Crickets there to laugh with me, singing when I moan Filled up by the notes sung so delicate Placed there one by one the song I can't forget And when I let the nighttime fold over me Then I'll find you every time And when I let the nighttime fold over me Then I'll find you every time.
