From the recording A Friend of a Friend
Lyrics
by the misty morning moon I see your breath
travel in the dull penumbra
I wait for you to wonder out loud
if you can't wait to see me again tonight
by the misty many shaking blades of grass
and the winds that comb through the shadows
I wait for you to wonder out loud
if you can't wait to see me again tonight
wet socks, wet feet sweaters damp and dirty jeans
in the middle of a soccer field falling asleep
and watching the city stars
but they're never as bright as they were just last night
the morning bell and color guard routine
sweeps aside the misty morning
I wait for you to wonder out loud
if that flag will really be burning if it hits the ground
oh my summer skin, oh my sweet july
how I never knew all of my songs would lead to you
the celebration rockets shooting off
on this anniversary of independence
I wait for you to whisper in my ear
are we independent now, or what is it that keeps you here?
