lyrics

I heard there was treasure at the other side
And so I tried to climb up the sky
I heard it was near the lighthouse
Where the watercolours run

I tried not to chase after the fabled light
And i locked my dreams up for the night
It was fleeting thought Reaching for the top
And sliding down the other side

Seeds wait for spring, and I’m waiting too
Seeds wait for spring, and I’m waiting too
Pretending that pot of gold is true

And guess what I tried to climb up the sky
And I fell down down down down

I tried to draw a beast, and then a god,
A dragon, a cyclops, and other pretences
I tried to lose my growing defences
And guess what I tried to climb up the sky

And I fell down down down down

Seeds wait for spring, and I’m waiting too
Seeds wait for spring, and I’m waiting too
Pretending that pot of gold is true

And guess what I tried to climb up the sky
And I fell down down down down
I fell down down down down
