Summer Dust

Under the autumn leaves
 I found to my surprise
 The rings we worn summers since
 The flowers were still alive
 They say that our own bodies
 Are made of bones and dust
 And how we lie beneath the maple tree
 And pray that the leaves don't cover us
 Ohhhhh
 Our hearts were beating
 Like humming birds that night
 A restless wind blew them open
 As the birds were taking flight
 Young hearts are bright
 And just as light
 And blowing in the air tonight
 She said I want to believe
 That we can laugh
 But I know that it's tough when your lost in the leaves
 And I'm in no rush
 But if we try to unite then we might just turn back into dust
 It's only natural for us
 Walking through this old town
 I'm reminded
 Of all the trees that we tore down
 To let the sun shine in
 We buried our beating hearts
 Under the rocks and dirt
 And now mine is filled with the fallen leaves
 And if you're not here it's going to burst
 Ohhhhh
 Our hearts were beating
 Like humming birds that night
 A restless wind blew them open
 As the birds were taking flight
 Young hearts are bright
 And just as light
 And blowing in the air tonight
