lyrics

when the sun peeks above the treetops
the runaways decide to head home
and the demons that they have not been facing
are still waiting there, stronger than before
with the chardonnay caked up in her mustache
her breath was thin the air
there was a fire in her stare
it's alright honey, go wait in your room
I'll take the fall this time

and though time has scattered us
as time tends to do
I hope you think of me
when the wind messes up your hair
and that train pulls on through

where the sunflowers grow above your head
you know that you are in the right part of town
and the rope swing that hangs down by the riverbed
will take you up, but soon you'll come down
and if you don't let go you will not reach the water
you'll come back to the shore
but at least you didn't drown
I blamed you then, I cannot blame you now
you can't always take the fall

there came a time when I just had to go
I hope you don't resent me for it
and I hope you can forgive me
when the wind messes up your hair
and by chance you don't ignore it

a young man works on a construction site
he thinks he can lift any weight
he can work away the days and even the afternoons
but at night he has to eat what's on his plate

we used to fight cause we were brothers
and I think it hurt when I said goodbye
but I hope that he forgives me
when the wind messes up his hair
and that train pulls on by
