Light, Raking

An apparition or whatever you call it

A specter waves his wand

And the leaves start falling

A white wall of cocoons on display

It's that wall that makes you sad all day

The souvenir burning, that's burning you know

But then you never really tried to step away from the shadow

The ebb and the flow, the wax, the wane

From a blister to the callous, the pleasure to the pain

I put the moonbeam under my shoe

And crack it like a nut to release all the power

I like to dream, what else can I do?

A blessing and a curse open up like a flower

Always a light, raking through the summer sky

And it's more than just a general feeling for the first time

A dirty penny in my pocket for luck

I think I shoulda woulda coulda

Thrown it back in the fountain

It's no joke when you're chasing a bus

Growing older in a college town

Show (?) another form of control

Show (?) lives from zero divided by no, no, oh, no

I put the moonbeam under my shoe

And crack it like a nut to release all the flavor

I like to dream, what else can I do

But synthesize a taste for the fruit of my labor?

Always a light, raking through the summer sky

Now won't you come and take a walk in the shoes before you criticize

Can we open up a window to freshen the air

Clarity may come when it's too late to care

Always a light, raking through the summer sky
