lyrics

Got a hornet buzzing up my sky
There's a whispering wind beneath my lazy wings
Sun beating down on my tears
Got something like fire in my ears, making them ring

Time will make it true
I've nothing left to do —
But love you

Come on baby give me one more kiss
Does it really have to end like this, on Saturday night?
Quit talking when we get tongue-tied
Get a little out, keep a little inside, we'll be alright

Time will make it true
I've nothing left to do —
But love you

It's for free, it's right now, come to me
(Let's just be together)
In a moment we'll touch and you'll know
(Now if not forever)
Can't keep the birds out of the trees

Oh, what am I to do?
A little grace is all I need
An open window to a candle I can see

No shelter in this backyard
Nothing calling me not so far up into the clouds
Thought a mirror was a window pane
Ran out the door, arms out in vain, there was no one around
Just that sound

You—shining for the blind
Now I've nothing on my mind
But loving you

It's for free, it's right now, come to me
(Let's just be together)
In a moment we'll touch and you'll know
(Now if not forever)
Can't keep the birds out of the sky

Oh, what am I to do?
A little grace is all that I
Need, and I'll come to
And fly toward the light
