Butterfly Nostalgia: Twilight Bay

Twilight Bay

Old Man Joe
Stood by the fire
He said he’d never seen anything like it in his whole life
They were so young
Acting so very old
They were sleeping up in the doorway
Of the house of tomorrow

Ricky and June
The sun and the moon
In a little boat on Twilight Bay
He looked in her eyes
Took the lows for the highs
Throwing all his poorly folded road maps away…

And he looked at her
And he said to her
I came prepared
I came prepared
For a whole lot of things in this world, but just not you
I came prepared
Yeah I came prepared
For a whole lot of things in this world, but just not you
Just not you

Sister Marie
Shaking her head
She said she just didn’t like the way that they’d run about
But they don’t care
No, they don’t give a damn
They’re too busy looking in the windows
Of the house of tomorrow

Ricky and June
The sun and the moon
In a little boat on Twilight Bay
He looked in her eyes
Took the lows for the highs
Throwing all his holographic Bibles away…

On an island
East of the bay
There is a house of godly plunder, or so they say
In the letter
Found in the stolen El Dorado
And their footprints led to the waters
Towards the house of tomorrow…

Ricky and June
The sun and the moon
In a little boat on Twilight Bay
He looked in her eyes
Took the lows for the highs
Throwing all his snow globe houses away…

And he said to her
I’ve got no answers
Oh baby, I’m just going by feel
I’m just feeling my way
And baby… this feels so good!

And he looked at her
And he said to her
I came prepared
I came prepared
For a whole lot of things in this world, but just not you
I came prepared
I came prepared
For a whole lot of things in this world, but just not you
For a whole lot of things in this world, but just not you
Just not you
Just not you
