on the heels of joy
you took a shortcut
I followed close behind
and we left the noise
in favour of forest lullabies

from our rock perch
I could see the whole lake
I could smell the silver birch
it was an obedient surprise
waiting in the wings in full disguise

chorus:
oh so “no?”
well I say “yes!”
grab ahold, be bold
like the comet’s crest
blaze to the road
shadow and strobe
we collide grace note to grace note

I did a double-take
I thought twice
soaking in the virtue
screening out the vice
then a simple melody “da di da di da da”
flew across the water
came over me

chorus
