summer came so slowly
could barely hear her tiptoe in
then one morning I smelled the sweet summer sky
and I knew she would win

all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
couldn’t put her together again

I gave you those fragments
you held them dear
when my glass was clouded
your mirror was clear

when you pull out the cork the spilling won’t stop
help me catch my valuables before they drop-

chorus:
I’ll take the bow
you take the stern
we’ll take the river’s turn
like a firefly at night…
I am drawn to your light

if an earthquake were coming
to shake us down
I’d give you a warning
my ears are pressed to the ground

and if you come crumbling, I’ll handle you with care
if there was one last crumb, you know I’d share-

chorus
