The Pearlfishers

Sugar Mountain Babies

we were in love in the belly of summer
warmed by the honeyed wildness of the sun
I tasted your coconut lips and summer moved on

I could see the magic
I could see the magic
I could see the magic in you
hazy in a heatwave
thinking this would always ring true

autumn tapped her on the shoulder
told her I still believed
winter brought an icy shiver to me
springtime was a world of wonder
wondering if I would ever get you back

we'll sleep again in the sound of the summers' goodbye
