lyrics

Woke up on foggy morn
Climbed down from the sky
It never crossed my mind
That I was still alight

When I saw the chirping birds
A haze came over my eyes
I fell asleep again
In a way I can’t describe

Well, watching from the porch is one fine way to live
When the dreams come up from the hallows
I’m turning back again

I hopped over the wall
That separates the way
Of understanding why
And how it feels inside

And the bears were drinking honey
From mason jars so grand
And big birds singing songs
About flying over land

But they don’t fly away
They circle back around
And drink with me tonight
In the midst of chiming sounds

Well, watching from the porch is one fine way to live
When the dreams come up from the hallows
I’m turning back again
