America – Tall Treasures lyrics
Album: Silent Letter
Golden rings and hair tied with ribbon
Early spring when winter's forgiven
Laughing past pleasures warm by the fire
Come inside
Silver vase, take a drink flower petal
Whistling songs like steam from the kettle
Carry silence like driftwood that rides
On the tide, on the tide, on the tide
Tall treasures, large as Alaska
There forever, never put out to pasture
Then the night will fall
Bringing peace to all
Darkness there together
Soft light bells and tea, draw the curtain
China cups, some shatter for certain
Laughin past pleasures warm by the fire
Come inside
Tall treasures, large as Alaska
There forever, never put out to pasture
Red river runs here beside us
Grey morning will never divide us
