Accidental Pictures
With elegant strokes
The tail of a swallow
Is painting its flight
Slow and winding
While I'm watching it go
There's a sense it evokes
Of freedom right down
In my wiring
Our life is like a string of accidental pictures
Askew on forgotten days
With a careless aim it slips through our fingers
But everything's strangely in place
The tall grass waves
Directions to follow
On a mystery ride
Down and climbing
The rolling dunes know
These perilous ways
I think it's the wild sea
They are miming
Our life is like a string of accidental pictures
Askew on forgotten days
With a careless aim it slips through our fingers
But everything's strangely in place
Everything's strangely in place
In a scattered composition
And I've stepped out of the frame
The wind dries a single tear
I'm not sure if it's yours or mine
It's still summer
And you are everywhere
Our life is like a string of accidental pictures
Askew on forgotten days
With a careless aim it slips through our fingers
But everything's strangely in place
Yeah, everything's strangely in place
The tail of a swallow
Is painting its flight
Slow and winding
While I'm watching it go
There's a sense it evokes
Of freedom right down
In my wiring
Our life is like a string of accidental pictures
Askew on forgotten days
With a careless aim it slips through our fingers
But everything's strangely in place
The tall grass waves
Directions to follow
On a mystery ride
Down and climbing
The rolling dunes know
These perilous ways
I think it's the wild sea
They are miming
Our life is like a string of accidental pictures
Askew on forgotten days
With a careless aim it slips through our fingers
But everything's strangely in place
Everything's strangely in place
In a scattered composition
And I've stepped out of the frame
The wind dries a single tear
I'm not sure if it's yours or mine
It's still summer
And you are everywhere
Our life is like a string of accidental pictures
Askew on forgotten days
With a careless aim it slips through our fingers
But everything's strangely in place
Yeah, everything's strangely in place
