Even when the leaves began to fall Still it was too warm to sleep at night She was finding treasure in the streets Pockets full of gemstones throwing light And I just can't help but clench my fists As she running around the corner out of sight And how can I deny her this When her life is an immaculate delight I battle myself But it's a fight worth having lose or win I battle myself But she turns her face into the wind Wandering in the palace on the shore It's easy to imagine we were kings I know you felt the hunger in the deep But she showed little feared for senseless things And I just can't help but clench my fists As the day surrenders to the night And how can i deny her this When her life is a miraculous delight I battle myself But it's a fight worth having lose or win I battle myself She turns her face into the wind Lets try and make different mistakes from the ones our fathers made We should try and make different mistakes from the ones our mothers made So we can look her in the eye in a distant future time. I battle myself But it's a fight worth having lose or win I battle myself But she turns her face into the wind I battle myself But it's a fight worth having lose or win I battle myself But she turns her face into the wind Lets try and make different mistakes from the ones our fathers made We should try and make different mistakes from the ones our mothers made So we can look her in the eye In a distant future time In a distant future time
