lyrics

Summer Hay
I'm standing on a precipice, on one side utter decadence,
The other side a princess sits brushing her golden hair
A queen amongst the other ones, a relic to an ageless love
Lie beside me ocean water, never let me go
It is your mind, that beats you to the ground
It is your mind, that's got you spinning all around
If we died out here, I wouldn't mind,
I've died a hundred million times
What is one more little death? we'll start it all again
Petruska, Petra, papillion, the sweetest bird beneath the sun
Will you lie awake at night and think of me? You should and will
It is your mind, that beats you to the ground
It is your mind, that's got you spinning all around
I‘m standing here my mouth agape, within the world we both created
Emerald fields of apple berry sweetest summer hay
Ah, it's beautiful beyond belief,
The greenest blades of grass beneath you feet
There's music on your lips and flowers in your hair
It is your mind, that beats you to the ground
It is your mind, that's got you spinning all around
