Track Insight / Lyrics
On the porch of a fading day
Where limbs creak and fans sway
An airplane, crumpled, worn
Watches over the number three-bedroom, one-bayou home
With the scent of magnolias in air
And cypress knees rising from the mire
A sense of isolation reigns supreme
Until the dusk arrives, a lonely queen
Oh sunset sleepy, drift away
Submerge the world in shades of May
In your lazy dance, I'm still out here
Where wooden lilies sway and fade
A pocketful of memories reside
In the puncture wounds where wings abide
The hum of cicadas, a lullaby
As the breeze whispers, "Don't you cry"
With the scent of magnolias in air
And cypress knees rising from the mire
A sense of isolation reigns supreme
Until the dusk arrives, a lonely queen
Oh sunset sleepy, drift away
Submerge the world in shades of May
In your lazy dance, I'm still out here
Where wooden lilies sway and fade
In dreams I soar, above the trees
Free from chains of eternal ease
But dawn brings back the tender ache
_longing for that vanished, sweet escape_
Oh sunset sleepy, drift away
Submerge the world in shades of May
In your lazy dance, I'm still out here
Where wooden lilies sway and fade
So, airplane, rest now, friend
May your vigil end, trends
Let the bayou's song be your lullaby
As you sleep, the porch slowly dries
