lyrics

Then the apple tree buds
Breaking winter’s skin
Like pebbles unthrown
From the lake we threw them in

Talking light and time travel
With mud all round our feet
You said the future’s not ahead
It’s behind us where we can’t see

Here is the first day
Of your life unlived
It's gonna be a long one
But you are loved in it
Ooh you're loved in it
Ooh you're loved in it

Then the falling into you
Like the reflection of the fingery trees
Swimmers and drowners
Standing on their toes to breathe

And then the devouring
Two shadows into one
Well, neither of us moons
In this total eclipse of the sun

Here is the first day
Of your life unlived
It's gonna be a long one
But you are loved in it
Ooh you're loved in it
Ooh you're loved in it

Then the apple tree buds
Perched out in rows
Maybe got an apple
Maybe gonna die, who knows?

You said, here, take this pebble
Smooth against your skin
There's a hole out there in the water
Where it came in

Here is the first day
Of your life unlived
It's gonna be a long one
But you are loved in it
Ooh you're loved in it
Ooh you're loved in it

Here is the first day
Of your life unlived
It's gonna be a long one
But you are loved in it
Ooh you're loved in it
Ooh you're loved in it
