This is The Sound
Lyrics & Music by Steven Jackson & Brighter Things
This is the sound - of our back porch one day you will need it - when it's cold outdoors One day you will need it - it can all be yours
And this is the sound - of thump ripe hearts in the middle of the summer - under burning stars One day you will need it - when it's dark, dark, dark
And this is the sound - of a steaming pot coffee perkolating - ad waking up Oh one day you will need it - when you ain't feeling so hot
This is the sound - baby kick and baby cry it's a sweeter sound - than when she says goodbye oh one day you will need it - right now you don't know why
And this is the sound 0 the shuffle of the wedding march and the dad's first dance - by God - they'll have to pull us apart One day you will need it - when she's someone's sweetheart
This is the sound - a symphony of rocking chairs babe we watched the sun melt down - felt like it took a thousand years One day you will need it - when the evening ain't so slow, and clear
And this is the sound - the way I sing in the middle of the night - when I can't sleep One day you will need it ... One day you will need it ...
