With a hammer and nails and a fear of failure
We are building a shed
Between here and heaven between the wait and the wedding
For as long as we both shall be dead
To the world, beyond the boys and the girls
Trying to keep us calm
We can practice our lines 'til we're deaf and blind
To ourselves to each other where it's
Fall, not winter;
Spring, not summer;
Cool, not cold
And it's warm, not hot,
Have we all forgotten that we're getting old
With an arrow and bow and some seeds left to sow
We are staking our claim
On ground so fertile we forget who we've hurt along
The way and reach out for a strange hand to hold
Someone strong but not bold enough to
Tear down the wall
'Cause we ain't lost enough to find the stars ain't
Crossed why align them why fall hard, not soft into
Fall not winter
Spring not summer
Cool not cold
Where it's warm, not hot,
Have we all forgotten that we're getting old
And it's fall, not winter.
Spring, not summer.
Cool, not cold.
And it's warm, not hot,
Has everyone forgotten that we're getting old
And it's fall, not winter.
Spring, not summer.
Cool, not cold.
And it's warm, not hot,
Have we all forgotten that we're getting old?
