Fight The Fairies

I breathed in the forest as I ran The scent of earth and pine trees on the wind At seven I could fly away She never seemed to make me stay She made me promise I'd come home Home again I was chasing fairies I remember Their silver dresses sparkled in the sun I saw them pass behind the trees Their voices singing "follow me" I'll catch them this time, see how fast Fast I run Then suddenly I realized that time had passed me by Someone took a paintbrush and put orange in the sky The wind will take me far away wherever I may go Remember though I promised her at night I would be home Street-lamps lit a shadow on the pavement Silent wings that circle 'round the light At seventeen I liked to say "She never could have made me stay" She made me promise I'd come home Home that night Then suddenly I realized that time had passed me by Someone took a paintbrush and put orange in the sky The wind will take me far away wherever I may go Remember though I promised her at night I would be home Then suddenly I realized that time had passed me by Someone took a paintbrush and put orange in the sky The wind will take me far away wherever I may go Remember though I promised her at night I would be home
