It was warm that day, I will never forget How it naturally bent in our favor William, how you begged That we live in a predator universe What you taught me can't be killed off Can't be lessened, we're choked by the world But hands can be soft, belly-soft as a pearl Magic is real and death is so feral Light skipped fantastic all over town as we drove up that hill And spread your ashes in the birdbath of love Love can be misunderstood The way we see ourselvеs in each other I carried you from homе to home Across the country and back And I cried all year 'cause some of my friends They keep dying on me over and again But I saw a sky so beautiful I believed in hope over despair, oh Light skipped fantastic all over town as we drove up that hill And spread your ashes in the birdbath of love (love, love) ♪ Light skipped fantastic all over town as we drove up that hill And spread your ashes in the birdbath of love
