Touching down the highwire clown Balances dreams that he's chosen Northern lights, all draped around Melting stream that was frozen. Bicycles with rusted wheels The frame in need of adjusting Red sky night that Fred Neil feels Back when the Grove wasn't bustling The working tide will come around again A serenade lies waiting in the wind For all your worldly treasures There's nothing to be won Nothing left to measure Just you and me and the colour of the sun. Wild-eyed child wonders how The sky connects to the ocean sponsored links Spinning fast then as now She's unaware of the motion The wise men and the fools keep taking turns
Every day more bridges seem to burn With all your vaults of treasure Would you trade them for some fun What's the price of pleasure Just you and me You can add subtract divide or multiply Watch the particles collide And trust the stars up in the sky Sand dunes gone, snatched by a storm Are the Poles really shifting? Gypsy rains wash o'er the plains Wood and dreams are still drifting The best the times can still somehow be found Even the worst of beaches Will never let you down For all your worldly treasures For your battles lost and one Nothing left to measure Just you and me, and the colour of the sun
