Summer child that sits by the water
Weaving sunlight threads in his hands
The golden river that day a shelter
A stream where he could make pebbles dance
You looked around you, nobody had taken
Any notice of what you saw
Against the evening sky, a formation
A million black birds looking like one
Live long, save ten years to remember
Live long, hold it in front of your eyes once more
Live long, save ten years to remember
Live long, hold it in front of your eyes
Weaving sunlight threads in his hands
The golden river that day a shelter
A stream where he could make pebbles dance
You looked around you, nobody had taken
Any notice of what you saw
Against the evening sky, a formation
A million black birds looking like one
Live long, save ten years to remember
Live long, hold it in front of your eyes once more
Live long, save ten years to remember
Live long, hold it in front of your eyes
