Alta Falls from Alta Falls by The Barr Brothers

-- Lyrics --

On the second day of June
Beneath an almost crescent moon
We played echoes with the fireflies

You were almost seventeen
On the bright side of a dream
Blowing kisses to the paperboy

And the ribbons that we drew
On Magnolia Avenue
It was September before they washed away

We were driving in the dark
Getting lost in Echo Park
Heard The Luyas on the radio

At the tolling of a bell
Rays of sunlight, morning fell
Clouds cast shadow on the fields below

All of my words come tumbling down
Like violets in your curls
Oh, maybe it’s just this kind of man
Goes diving for a pearl
Till all my shackles and chains come off
I'm welded to the world

Was that so long ago?

With my ankles in the sand
Holding water in my hand
Disappearing beneath the shallow sweep

You were running with balloons
Some were yellow, some were blue
Tied a message and you let them go

What I wanted to convey
But it was more than I could say
Was how beautiful I thought that was

You were almost seventeen
On the bright side of a dream
Blowing kisses to the paperboy

All of my words come tumbling down
Like violets in your curls
Oh, maybe it’s just this kind of man
Goes diving for a pearl
Till all my shackles and chains come off
I'm welded to the world
All my leaves come autumning down
My mouth is full of birds
Maybe it’s just this kind of man
Goes diving for a pearl
Till all my wheels and gears come off
I'm welded to the world

Was that so long ago?
Was that so long ago?
