Arrival

(앨범: The Honesty Room - 1993)

My dad is a miracle, and so's my mom, they fly over the blue
They finish their dinner and then they take one another's hands
And off they go to find a broader point of view
For it's a give and take beyond the ordinary
What with all the cats and kids that they've loved
And they-o will not be alone

Well my friends give me purple flowers and orange tea
On goosedown spilling quilts and turquoise chairs
We greet one another in a wild profusion of words
And wave farewell amidst a wonderment of air
And in the laughing times we know that we are lucky
And in the quiet times we know that we are blessed
And we-o will not be alone

Well the light that stopped the night felt like forgiveness to you
As the garbage trucks came bustling through their rounds
You stared at all the pictures on your wall and all the postcards from your friends
As you heard the birds and old familiar sounds
And that's when you knew this world can't be saved, only discovered
And then you knew things could be different than before
And now you-o will not be alone anymore
