Ayla Nereo - Three Long Afternoons lyrics

I saw you were standing there A fistful of sand said you'd never leave from this place Where we had played for three long afternoons The broken sticks were bent and covering A roof of gold we'd had imported from Spain Let's keep on playing for three more days… And you saw me like a starling swimming Through the leaves they're turning Colored shades and you turned me into yesterday Armed with an oath, "I am no enemy" They're hiding with swords and waiting to break at the seams But I can see right through their cloakscreens So take my hand and take my bow And string a straight line that will let them know That we're piling sand up round our home of gold… And you flew me like a firefly lightning In the eyes it's bursting Into flames and you burst me into yesterday Now the bell is ringing for you to be leaving this day with the moonbeams moonbeams Hide me there, 'hind the stairs, 'till the next day We'll cover our eyes 'till we know we're safe and away And you flew me like a firefly lightning In the eyes it's bursting Into flames and you burst me into yesterday
