Modern History

When the sun circle appears to me, I embrace the world and all it's pluses
When the summer day ceases to be, I take to riding far away on buses...
I thought of you almost every hour
I thought of you as my companion
I thought that you might be a flower, growing at the bottom of a canyon
Days, they fly, and nights, they fall
Makes no sense to me at all
Just little tricks of temperature
And light, cast a spell on everyone
So let the golden vines of modern history grow
To cover yourself and everyone you know
And if that story that we made was just a token, maybe our hearts will all be unbroken
Every single morning I am born
And in the same place each night I am buried
Beneath the single blanket worn
As an ocean where my dreams are buried
No, I can't be the weight upon your shoulders
I can't be the ringing in your ears
But I can disappear until we're older
Just like the bowling balls around your mirror
The darkness from the light's gone out, filled the room and killed the doubt
You keep counting every moment till the morning, then it's never gonna come
So let the golden vines of modern history grow
To cover yourself and everyone you know
And if that story that we made was just a token, maybe our hearts will all be unbroken
If I called you again, by a god given name
If the wind and the rain did fall, would you hear me at all? So let the golden vines of modern history grow
To cover yourself and everyone you know
And may the words we used in anger be unspoken, and may our hearts will all be unbroken
