lyrics

Way Back (shoo-be-doo)


Take that road. take it way back
take it to the river with the world on your back
take it with a flower and a pinch of salt
take it with a hammer

stars shine down to our blue balloon
black night seems bigger than me and you
but we shall not be afraid
everything will be ok

my heaven goes...
my heaven goes... with me

you and I, we go way back
we fell out of a window and skinned it back
we sat to watch the day glow with your cedar heart
watch it fall apart...

no one can follow you down
no one can feel the way you feel
but we shall not be afraid
everything will be ok

my heaven goes... with me

my sister's laugh, my brother's grin
my mother's hands are good to me
my father weeps, I cup my hands for water.

stars shine down to our blue balloon
black night seems bigger than me and you
but we shall not be afraid
everything will be ok

my heaven goes...
my heaven goes... with me
