Favorite Time Of Light

Leave the dishes in the sink don't overthink it
 Close up the brokenhearted piano
 Join me on the porch if you can swing it
 Let's dream an ocean in Ohio
 You've been working so hard I can feel it -
 The clean and honest sweat upon your skin
 I wanna see the rosy light on your face
 Is this evening free or did it cost us everything
 It's our favorite time of light
 Just before the day kisses the night
 You see the redwing blackbirds fly
 The sun's a big ol' lazy eye
 And when the day is bending low
 And rolling fields begin to glow
 Feels like we traveled all this way
 Just so I could hear you say
 It's our favorite
 Our favorite time of light
 Can you still hear those children singing?
 Remember Jesus Loves Me This I Know
 Now there's just a lone blue heron flying
 Dreaming an ocean in Ohio
 It's our favorite time of light
 Just before the day kisses the night
 You see the redwing blackbirds fly
 The sun's a big ol' lazy eye
 The moon is waiting in the wings
 Dreamin' up some midnight song to sing
 And I know we'll be okay
 Everytime I hear you say
 It's our favorite
 Our favorite time of light
 The dreams I've dreamed I give them all to you now
 I'm not really sure what shape they're in
 Maybe they were all just too expensive
 Maybe after dark we'll try again
 So add this to your list of simple beauties
 I know we're gonna miss it when we go
 While barren fields undress their gentle mysteries
 We dream an ocean in Ohio
 It's our favorite time of light
 Just before the day kisses the night
 You see the redwing blackbirds fly
 The sun's a big ol' lazy eye
 When they lay me down at last
 And this life is finally past
 Just remember me this way
 And don't forget to say
 It's our favorite
 Our favorite time of light
