Even when the leaves began to fall

Still it was too warm to sleep at night

She was finding treasure in the streets

Pockets full of gemstones throwing light

And I just can’t help but clench my fists

As she running around the corner out of sight

And how can I deny her this

When her life is an immaculate delight

I battle myself

But it’s a fight worth having lose or win

I battle myself

But she turns her face into the wind

Wandering in the palace on the shore

It’s easy to imagine we were kings

I know you felt the hunger in the deep

But she showed little feared for senseless things

And I just can’t help but clench my fists

As the day surrenders to the night

And how can I deny her this

When her life is a miraculous delight

I battle myself

But it’s a fight worth having lose or win

I battle myself

She turns her face into the wind

Let’s try and make different mistakes from the ones our fathers made

We should try and make different mistakes from the ones our mothers made

So we can look her in the eye

In a distant future time

I battle myself

But it’s a fight worth having lose or win

I battle myself

But she turns her face into the wind

I battle myself

But it’s a fight worth having lose or win

I battle myself

But she turns her face into the wind

Let’s try and make different mistakes from the ones our fathers made

We should try and make different mistakes from the ones our mothers made

So we can look her in the eye

In a distant future time

In a distant future time
