about
A synth heavy, hooky track that's short and sweet. It is the first Dandelion Tea track to include a bass solo (with synth accompaniment) and also lead guitar, which features in no other recording by the band.
lyrics
Night time exterior
I watch you disappear
Behind a curtain of people
A haystack of needles
And you moved through the fair
As I stood and stared
Is that the sun or the moon?
I called out after you
As you were drifting
Uncontrollably down stream
My head hung down
And off came my crown
Now I'm just a hunting trophy
Hung above your mantelpiece
Before I'd heard of someone like you
To fall was to land on a cloud and pass right through
I'd curse the sun in my eyes
Never knowing the cold rains beneath my skies
Now I'm over the falls, plummeting into the sea
And thank the rocks for catching me!
Is that the sun or the moon?
I called out after you
As you were drifting
Uncontrollably down stream
My head hung down
And off came my crown
Now I'm just a hunting trophy
Hung above your mantelpiece
I watch you disappear
Behind a curtain of people
A haystack of needles
And you moved through the fair
As I stood and stared
Is that the sun or the moon?
I called out after you
As you were drifting
Uncontrollably down stream
My head hung down
And off came my crown
Now I'm just a hunting trophy
Hung above your mantelpiece
Before I'd heard of someone like you
To fall was to land on a cloud and pass right through
I'd curse the sun in my eyes
Never knowing the cold rains beneath my skies
Now I'm over the falls, plummeting into the sea
And thank the rocks for catching me!
Is that the sun or the moon?
I called out after you
As you were drifting
Uncontrollably down stream
My head hung down
And off came my crown
Now I'm just a hunting trophy
Hung above your mantelpiece
