Everything About It Is a Love Song
Locked in a struggle for the right combination of words in a melody line
I took a walk along the riverbank of my imagination
Golden clouds were shufflin' the sunshine
But if I ever get back to the 20th century
I guess I'll have to pay off some debts
Open the book of my vanishin' memory
With its catalog of regrets
Stand up for the deeds I did
And those I didn't do
Sit down, shut up, think about God
And wait for the hour of my rescue
We don't mean to mess things up
But mess them up we do
And then it's, "Oh, I'm sorry"
Here's a smilin' photograph of love when it was new at a birthday party
Make a wish and close your eyes
Surprise, surprise, surprise
Early this December and brown as a sparrow
Frost creepin' over the pond
I shoot a thought into the future
And it flies like an arrow through my lifetime and beyond
If I ever come back as a tree or a crow or even the wind-blown dust
Find me on the ancient road in the song when the wires are hushed
Hurry on and remember me, as I'll remember you
Far above the golden clouds, the darkness vibrates
The earth is blue
And everything about it is a love song
Everything about it
Everything about it is a love song
Everything about it
Everything about it is a love song
I took a walk along the riverbank of my imagination
Golden clouds were shufflin' the sunshine
But if I ever get back to the 20th century
I guess I'll have to pay off some debts
Open the book of my vanishin' memory
With its catalog of regrets
Stand up for the deeds I did
And those I didn't do
Sit down, shut up, think about God
And wait for the hour of my rescue
We don't mean to mess things up
But mess them up we do
And then it's, "Oh, I'm sorry"
Here's a smilin' photograph of love when it was new at a birthday party
Make a wish and close your eyes
Surprise, surprise, surprise
Early this December and brown as a sparrow
Frost creepin' over the pond
I shoot a thought into the future
And it flies like an arrow through my lifetime and beyond
If I ever come back as a tree or a crow or even the wind-blown dust
Find me on the ancient road in the song when the wires are hushed
Hurry on and remember me, as I'll remember you
Far above the golden clouds, the darkness vibrates
The earth is blue
And everything about it is a love song
Everything about it
Everything about it is a love song
Everything about it
Everything about it is a love song
