lyrics

You, are becoming the reason
That I've tasted a change in the season
Now the sun he's smiling like a guy so fey
And the rain, well he's taken a holiday

I walked... into a wood for spring's light flowers
But it was Octo-ber, guess I got lost for hours
And that time, January in a bathing suit
Well it sure gave those kids a hoot
"Hey mister, what'cha doin'?"

You are becoming the reason
That the moon, has gone back to doing evenings
And when you walk the stars will do their homework
The better to light your way back into my world.

I sipped honey under a willow tree
And in this reverie, felt that you were lying next to me yeah
Were those soldiers, passin', salutin' our first kiss?
Or did I only dream, this state of bliss?

You, are becoming the reason
that I've tasted a change in the season
Now the sun he's smiling like a guy so fey
And the rain, well he's taken a holiday
You are becoming the reason
That the moon, has gone back to doing evenings
And when you walk the stars will do their homework
The better to light your way back into my world.

about

Alexander's Festival Hall image

Alexander's Festival Hall London, UK

Alexander's Festival Hall is a sort of English pop confection, a mix of regretful ballads and occasional pop rainbows. New album 'Not From Above!' is both music and book of stories. Twelve lush romantic songs and a collection of darkly comic thought experiments.
