lyrics

Living in the woods is sometimes crazy
It can make you feel small
Or lift you up to the glory
Like a sunrise climbing up a wall
Like a sunrise climbing up a wall
I left (I left) the city, I left (I left) the bright lights
I left (I left) the glitter
To watch the sunrise with you
Bring in something from the garden
Draw some water from the well
I’ll sit with you until sunset
When the night is standing still
When the night is standing still
I left (I left) the city, I left (I left) the bright lights
I left (I left) the glitter
To watch the sunset with you
Today the sparks of springtime
Were blooming so alive
Let’s set the lantern on the window sill
And make love until we cry
And make love until we cry
I left (I left) the city, I left (I left) the bright lights
I left (left) the glitter
To watch the sunrise with you
Would you leave the city Would you leave
the bright lights
Would you leave someone
To watch the sunrise with me
