lyrics

The high back piano it leans where it stands
You grace the keys with your hands
I’ve a bag full of stars that are ours to hang from this crumbling and stained old ceiling
We’ll buy paper and glue with the pennies we save
And patch up our roof to keep out the rain
Will you play it again that hopeful refrain
Sing “love don’t mind rain anyway”

Oh many things start to slip away I know with time, but some things don’t go

In the summer our little garden will grow minutes and hours
We’ll tend to the time that is ours
When autumn turns the days into amber remains
We’ll hide in our home and wait for the snow

Oh many things start to slip away I know with time, but some things don’t go, don’t go

I’ll stay, I’ll wander, as you’re want to do
But I’ll always return to you
For the flame in my heart knows the source of its spark
No matter how far from pianos and stars

Oh many things start to slip away I know with time, but some things don’t go, don’t go

I’ve got some paper – I’m gonna make you a plane that will take you all the way home
Light on the doorstep, you know where the key is, wake me and take me all the way home
We’ll toast to our first year, the things that we hold dear, the one thing, this something won’t go
