Lyrics

[Spoken Intro: Meredith Hughes] "Her romantic mind was like the tiny boxes..." "...For Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried..." "...And she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother." "'Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!'" "All children, except one, grow up." [Verse 1: Henry Crawford] Well, I'm a weak young thing But it's this song I sing That puts the strength back in my bones Puts the feathers on your wings [Verse 2: Henry Crawford] And it sleeps in your soul In your heart of gold It pulls the hymnals out of nowhere Crushes diamonds out of coal [Chorus 1: Henry Crawford] When all I've known is said or sung No stone un-turned, no rag un-wrung Our banner flown, my youth returned With our lungs void, our voice was heard [Verse 3: Henry Crawford] And when you left home Did your friends all go "We were never really here We were never carved in stone"? So, open your window Let your fever grow For the grace of god, go I And I am never going home [Chorus 2: Henry Crawford] When hands can't hold the light I see The first bird sang this song to me: "With my strength spent, with my heart cold I put my faith in rock 'n roll" [Spoken Bridge: Lizzie Oldfather] "'To die would be awfully big adventure.'" (Awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure) (Awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure) (Awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure) (Awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure) "'To die would be awfully big adventure.'" (Awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure) (Awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure) (Awfully big adventure, awfully big adventure) (Awfully big adventure) [Outro: Henry Crawford] Ball lightning Ball lightning Ball lightning Ball lightning
