lyrics

It’s your hands on my face
And the garden light
That takes care of time
Loves me like paradise

Tip your head to the sky
And watch them rake up the night
Phosphorescent fire
Summer’s ending but it’s you and I
last diamond of light

They told her to give up her crystals for Jesus
But she wore them because they pleased her
She thinks another life could be now
And because I don’t know what she means
I think it’s me who doesn’t please her

She measures her days by how fast they disappear
Can’t tell if fast is good or if fast is fear
She starts to wonder what is left of her American dream
And when her bones start to ache she will sing to me

Put your hands on my face
Give me the garden light
That takes care of time
Loves me like paradise

Tip your head to the sky
And watch them rake up the night
Phosphorescent fire
Summer’s ending but it’s you and I
last diamond of light

Summer is ending
She asks, can I stay the child
Must I always be burned
Trying to harness wildfire

In the front room
Shining like a dying light
All my dreams preached to me
On colour t.v.

She measures her days by how fast they disappear
Can’t tell if fast is good or if fast is fear
She starts to wonder what is left of her American dream
And when her bones start to ache she will sing to me

Put your hands on my face
Give me the garden light
That takes care of time
Loves me like paradise

Tip your head to the sky
And watch them rake up the night
Phosphorescent fire
Summer’s ending but it’s you and I
last diamond of light

"Imagine Jeff Buckley’s untethered falsetto with Stevie Wonder’s warm, grainy tenor...David Ward has mastered both, plus all points between. Ward is clearly a versatile and ambitious talent." Uncut
