Alta Falls Lyrics

1) On The Second Day of june.
BeNeath, an 'aLmost cresceNt moon -
'We played /eChoes\ . with thE fireflies'.
you were aLmost, Seventeen.
On, the bright-side of a 'dReam -
BLowing kisses .to the paper'boy.
aNd the ribbons, tHat we drew .
-on Magnolia 'Avenue . was September
'before they all washed away.
we weRe dabbLing iN the daRk .

- gettting lOst in /echoe\ park .
'heard
The 'elujahs ... on the radio.
at the tolliNg of a' bell -
\rays'/ of sUnlight 'moRning fell.
CLouds cast' a shadow .
-on the fields below.
*\/* ** all my words come tumbLing down-
Like Violets' in your pearls or, maybe- it's just this kind'of -wrEcK.
'thAt gOes diviNg foR the pearls /tell all my' -sheeples'- and /chains'\
Come-on that i'm a- weLded to tHe worLd...
Was there soul,{salt?} long a-go. **

2) with my nickels in the sand, holding water in my hand.
It's apparent beneath the .(++++"+++). sweet.
you were running with balloons'.
And' .some were yellow and' some were -blue.
Tapping +//////+ and you let' them go.
but \eye/ wanted- to 'convey-
That it was,. more thAn i' cAn -say.
Was how' BeautifuL, that i' thought' that it was.
'you were aLmost seventeen, on tHe bright side of a 'DReam. Blowing Kisses -to the paperboy.
** aLL my words come tumbLing down-Like Violets in your pearls **
Oh, maYbe its just this kind'of man-
That goes diving for the pearL' .
teLL aLL my \shacKles'and'chains/ -'come-off'
Im 'a' dEviL .to the world
aLL my Leaves come apart- and break down and it'
-happens for the birds-
Maybe- its just this kind 'of -man that
Goes diving -FOr the' pearl.
Tell all my 'wheels and 'peeps. /come'off\ .
That im Rebel. to the world.
'* was there soul .long a-go.*'
*was there . .soul -long ago.*
