Mirah - Gone Are the Days lyrics
[Mirah - Gone Are the Days lyrics]
And we were just a child with
The mess that children make
And we were running wild
No thoughts for what we'd break
But gone are all the days
Gone are all the days
And once we learned to hide
Our size did keep us safe
The sidewalk cracks were wide
But to jump 'em made us brave
But then the darkness came
A-creeping over every place
Over time we took to sleeping
And let the weeds take over this place
Well, how about the backyard
Sons and daughters
C'mon, we've got to get some work done
The bones, I'm told, they hold the place up
So why crack 'em away the rocks we shake
And everything we take and still
Think will be ok but gone are all the days
Gone are all the days
Well, the limbs outside this house are
Dignified by the forces uncontained
And how we survive when the wells run dry
And not a muscle does remain
For when we rode the thunder steely faced
And we kicked our heels into
The belly of the chase
So becomes a garden soft
Embrace into a hungry, hollow taste
If we keep building fires and
Fanning up the flames
Even the waters from our eyes'll
Never dampen down that blaze
But gone are all the days
Gone are all the days
Still every morning's light and all
The day it stays
Until it turns to night and then
The future's on it's way
And the future's never gonna lay down
It won't lay down it's face
Hold that shoulder strong and carry it along
And steady it with grace
The mess that children make
And we were running wild
No thoughts for what we'd break
But gone are all the days
Gone are all the days
And once we learned to hide
Our size did keep us safe
The sidewalk cracks were wide
But to jump 'em made us brave
But then the darkness came
A-creeping over every place
Over time we took to sleeping
And let the weeds take over this place
Well, how about the backyard
Sons and daughters
C'mon, we've got to get some work done
The bones, I'm told, they hold the place up
So why crack 'em away the rocks we shake
And everything we take and still
Think will be ok but gone are all the days
Gone are all the days
Well, the limbs outside this house are
Dignified by the forces uncontained
And how we survive when the wells run dry
And not a muscle does remain
For when we rode the thunder steely faced
And we kicked our heels into
The belly of the chase
So becomes a garden soft
Embrace into a hungry, hollow taste
If we keep building fires and
Fanning up the flames
Even the waters from our eyes'll
Never dampen down that blaze
But gone are all the days
Gone are all the days
Still every morning's light and all
The day it stays
Until it turns to night and then
The future's on it's way
And the future's never gonna lay down
It won't lay down it's face
Hold that shoulder strong and carry it along
And steady it with grace
