Twilight Hour: Scarlet of the Dusk

Scarlet of the Dusk

Run around the world
You sweet little daydreamer
Run from the shadows... growing long
Can’t help but feel
Like it slipped through your fingers
The only thing that’s worth holding on

(Chorus)
And though this afternoon’s demise
Is just tomorrow’s disguise
Still you chase the scarlet of the dusk

A perfect day
A picnic in the periwinkle
By the edge of the forest, where the pixies sleep
Put it in a tin box
We’ll burry it under this tree to keep
A lock of your hair and my mother’s ring

(Repeat chorus)

Graduation day
The good times grow into the old days
Friend’s voices fade... as the distance grows between
And I meant every word
I dropped in that tin box baby
Remember the summer, but live for the spring

(Repeat chorus)

Riding across the fossils, of ancient roads
Flipping through the yearbook pages
It was ages ago…



In the backyard
Dancing around the sprinkler
Both children and dog, head to toe with mud
Home late from work
Dinners cold, the children studying
You fall into bed... with your sighing love
Want to burn it all down
The tin box is six feet underground
Hard rain beats down... on the white balloons
And though they can’t rise
It’s just the metaphor falling
So burn the sweet grass, and set me free

(Repeat chorus)

Run around the world
You sweet little daydreamer…
