Lyrics

If I can fold you in a letter and send you to someone else, I will
Or maybe cast you to the sails in a broken bottle
If all that returns are my words that linger still
And red skies at dawn, this song will follow
In my minds eye it was so colorful
So cut and dry I didn?t read between the lines
I didn?t take the time; I never take the time
And everything takes time
Everything that?s beautiful takes time
If I can plant this broken seed deep in the earth I think I will
Or maybe cast it to the winds of this hollow city
If all that ever grows is my heart that lingers still
And a soft rain, this son will follow
I?m gonna slow down
I?m gonna let it sink in
Let these colors grow under my skin
In my minds eye it will be so colorful
I stumble blind; I fall between the lines
I?m gonna take my time, lord knows I?ve got the time
Everything that?s beautiful takes time
Everything that ever was beautiful took time
