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 ...
