about

My favorite track on the album. I'm really proud with how it came out and all the incredible musicians who played on it.

lyrics

Sunlight slips in streamers through a canopy of leaves
And I catch these glimpses of a time that will never be.
Scary noises filter from the house up on the hill.
Whispers dancing through the trees, just like they always will.

And I've been running through the grass, trying to fly.
And after all these years I still don't know why.

Moonbeams fall like diamond dust all through my hair.
And I'm changed into a princess trapped inside some dragon's lair.
Escaping through my bedroom window, I can walk the land.
And pretend that I am free to be whoever I think I am.

And I've been running through the grass, trying to fly.
And after all these years I still don't know why.

Clouds are forming in the east and the summer's gone.
The wind tastes bitter and there's a red tinge to the dawn.
There's a white bird in the distance and she's flying low.
And I watch her reap all the tender things that I have sown.

And I've been running through the grass, trying to fly.
And after all these years I still don't know why.
