lyrics

The light shining through the leaves of the trees on the sidewalks
Looks suspiciously like stained glass
And cold windowpanes invite the shy gleam of the sunshine
To kiss their faces with its golden cast

Illuminating the infinite possibilities for wonderment and magic to reign supreme
Not just a dream
Queen for an hour when the sky is pink

The clouds overhead are gilt with the shimmer of sunshine
Incandescent in the skies above
Below, people turn and look in the eyes of their companions
And they realize they are in love

Illuminating…

When the sky is pink and people’s silhouettes go wandering on their own
Shadows independent from their bodies
Bodies dancing without knowing quite why they do it
