small wonder - ball lightning lyrics
[spoken intro: meredith hughes]
“her romantic mind was like the tiny boxes…”
“…for mrs. darling put her hand to her heart and cried…”
“…and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother.”
“‘oh, why can’t you remain like this for ever!'”
“all children, except one, grow up.”
[verse 1]
well, i’m a weak young thing
but it’s this song i sing
that puts the strength back in my bones
puts the feathers on your wings
[verse 2]
and it sleeps in your soul
in your heart of gold
it pulls the hymnals out of nowhere
crushes diamonds out of coal
[chorus 1]
when all i’ve known is said or sung
no stone un+turned, no rag un+wrung
our banner flown, my youth returned
with our lungs void, our voice was heard
[verse 3]
and when you left home
did your friends all go
“we were never really here
we were never carved in stone”?
so, open your window
let your fever grow
for the grace of god, go i
and i am never going home
[chorus 2]
when hands can’t hold the light i see
the first bird sang this song to me:
“with my strength spent, with my heart cold
i put my faith in rock ‘n roll”
[spoken bridge: lizzie oldfather]
“‘to die would be awfully big adventure.'”
(awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure)
(awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure)
(awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure)
(awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure)
“‘to die would be awfully big adventure.'”
(awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure)
(awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure)
(awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure)
(awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure)
