Ephemeral

Like the springtime flowers growing in the forest
Under the Iowa sun
For a few weeks the flowers bloom so freely
Till the canopy covers the light and they're done

Like a summer thunder 'cross the prairie
Under the Iowa rain
There's something 'bout the way the storm's rolling away
Leaves an echo in my bones, a longing in my veins

Ephemeral, through growth and decay there's always a way
Ephemeral, will we want this moment back one day

Like autumn breezes blow through oak savannah
Under the Iowa sky
The goldenrods hold onto the last bit of sunshine
But the colors will fade as geese start to fly

Like swans sleeping on frozen river
Under the Iowa moon
One night it's full and the next it is already waning
Tell me why is it always leaving too soon

Ephemeral, what would you say if you just had today
Ephemeral, will we want this moment back one day
Gonna want this moment back one day

Like the springtime flowers growing in the forest
Under the Iowa sun
For a few weeks the flowers bloom so freely
Till the canopy covers the light and they're done
