House in the Trees

Not a word over the boards That keep us afloat, sparrows at play I sense this just might be right In the silent embrace of night We slide, deny, won't put up a fight I was wrong , I acted strong And this playground full of our breaths I sense I built our house too high Too high to catch with our eyes We reach as it flies away So I'll hold you for a couple of beats Cross my fingers with yours And with the first flicker of wings And the chirping and smiling, postponing, denying This is our house in the trees This is our house in the trees On the playground where we were free This is our house in the trees This is our house in the trees On the playground where we were free Keep my words to myself My lips are sealed, they won't come apart I sense with the silence we have For everyone else we managed to quiet even ouselves And it will slip away Don't look back through the cracks The walls won't come down I feel as if in the wrong We tried to make our right We reached through but it was too bright So I'll hold you for a couple of beats Cross my fingers with yours And with the first flicker of wings And the chirping and smiling, postponing, denying This is our house in the trees This is our house in the trees On the playground where we were free This is our house in the trees This is our house in the trees On the playground where we were free
