lyrics

The sun sets so late now
and I know you're tired
But I'm wide awake now
seems I'm always wired

For making excuses
to stay where it's starlit
and meanwhile you're fighting
the pull of your eyelids

So let me take you home
Where I'll tell you stories of heroes
and of ancient Rome
that'll bore you nearly to tears til you

Wake to the place
where I'm always kind
and the smile's never fake
and the sun's always shining
to your dreams, to the lake
where we heard the loons calling
where we knew what it takes
to be loved and we loved anyway

Four years have passed now
and it's snowing somewhere
but here the rain threatens
like imminent warfare

Except Minnesota
we like when it thunders
I'll sleep by the window
in case it gets rougher

So you can drift off home
as I read you stories of Pine Cove
and of spares and bones
that aren't suited for bedtime but still you will

Wake to the place
where I'm mostly kind
where the bees never chase
and the sun's always shining
to your dreams, to the lake
where we heard the loons calling
where we knew what it takes
to be loved and we loved

Any way that you face
you will note that I'm by you
when you're lost in this place
you know I'm here to find you

Once you left in the dark
but I thought I heard singing
a low hum, from the deck,
it was wedding bells ringing

The sun sets so late now
and I know you're tired
Though I'm wide awake now
I'll follow you skyward...
