Perennial (feat. Nicole Tester)

I want my kids to swim in your seas
And play on the banks in just their bare feet
They'll lay all their heads on a piece of driftwood
That floated down river from your neighborhood

But lately we're worried
That the creek beds might dry
And all the perennials
Can't help but die
My adjustments to summer
They've all come way to soon
I'm looking for answers as if they'll just bloom

When the grace of the springtime
Falls on the ground
And the daffodils rise with
The good kind of proud
To raise, oh to raise
After two-hundred days
Well I found your heart in
My garden out back

Assurance of warmness when hope's all but bailed
Your the lighthouse in the harbor
When my ships have all sailed
My lazy projection of heaven is frail
But the spirit it shakes me and lifts off the vail

When the grace of the springtime
Falls on the ground
And the katydids sing with the good kind of proud
To raise, oh to raise
After two-hundred days
Well I found your heart in their new song last night

Oh I found your heart in their new song last night
Oh I found your heart in my garden out back
Oh I found your heart in their new song last night
Oh I found your heart
