Chasing the dawn
One morning in spring
We feel invincible
There's no better feeling

You bid goodbye
To all that you know
The fairies cry
And the fairies know
That sooner or later
Sooner or later
You'd be gone

Stepping into heaven's glow
Wishing that we could
That we could grow
Wings
Cradled and crushed
And magic dust
Sprinkled
In the air
Pirouettes and chiffon
All the pretty lights turned on
We did it for you
We did it for you

They put flowers by your bed
Like you were already dead
Was I naive in believing in you?
They played Chopin
Although you were really
A Nirvana kind of girl

Stepping into heaven's glow
Wishing that we could
That we could grow
Wings
Cradled and crushed
And magic dust
Sprinkled
In the air
Pirouettes and chiffon
All the pretty lights turned on
We did it for you
We did it for you

Jars of seashells
Coloured beads
And youth
You wanted everything
Everything kept
And labelled
Like persimmon jam

But the persimmons are rotting
And your daddy's waiting
For his little girl to wake up
The orchard's on hold
Or so I've been told
Your daddy couldn't possibly
Do it without you

And we sleep in the sunshine
Cause we don't
No we don't want
To see the day when it's dying

Stepping into heaven's glow
Wishing that we could
That we could grow
Wings
Cradled and crushed
And magic dust
Sprinkled
In the air
Pirouettes and chiffon
All the pretty lights turned on
We did it for you
We did it for you

You step into heaven's glow
And we sing
Oh yes we sing
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
And then you sing
Oh yes you sing
Don't trample on my daisies
Trample on my daisies
Today
