about

A reflection on love sounds trite, but that's pretty much what this is. But it has a cello, so it's cool.

lyrics

AT A JAPANESE GARDEN THERE WERE
SEVERAL WEDDING PARTIES 
POSING FOR PHOTOGRAPHS
THEY WERE SO YOUNG

EMOTIONS RANGED 
FROM BOREDOM TO GIDDINESS
ONE BRIDE IN A WHEELCHAIR
ONE WAS IN A MINIDRESS

THAT’S WHEN YOU REACHED FOR MY HAND
YOU HADN’T DONE THAT FOR A LONG LONG TIME 


EVERYONE’S ACHING FOR SOMETHING
IF WE FEEL THAT TIME'S CLOSING IN
WE CAN TAMP IT DOWN WE CAN STOW IT AWAY
BUT THE ACHING STILL REMAINS


RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING 
A SONG CAME ON THE RADIO
IT REMINDED ME OF YEARS AGO
SPEEDING THROUGH THE DESERT

YOUR BARE FEET ON THE DASHBOARD
AND YOUR HAIR IN THE OPEN WINDOW
DANCING AND SWIRLING 
LIKE IT WAS ALIVE

IT WAS HARD TO KEEP MY EYES ON THE ROAD
THAT WAS THE LAST THAT WE’VE BEEN SO CAREFREE

EVERYONE’S ACHING FOR SOMETHING
WE CAN ALL FEEL THE PAST CLOSING IN
WE CAN SEE REMINDERS OF WHO WE USED TO BE
IN BRIDES, IN SONGS, AND WIND.
