[Verse]
There were day
s
and there were
days
and there were
days between
Summer flies a
nd August dies
the world grow
s dark and mea
n
Comes the shim
mer of the moo
n
on black infes
ted trees
the singing ma
n is at his so
ng
the holy on th
eir knees
The reckless a
re out wreckin
g
The timid plea
d their pleas
No one knows m
uch more of th
is
than anyone ca
n see anyone c
an see
[Verse]
There were day
s
and there were
days
and there were
days besides
when phantom s
hips with phan
tom sails
set to sea on
phantom tides
Comes the ligh
tning of the s
un
on bright unfo
cused eyes
the blue of ye
t another day
a springtime w
et with sighs
a hopeful cand
le lingers
in the land of
lullabies
where headless
horsemen vani
sh
with wild and
lonely cries l
onely cries
[Verse]
There were day
s
and there were
days
and there were
days I know
when all we ev
er wanted
was to learn a
nd love and gr
ow
Once we grew i
nto our shoes
we told them w
here to go
Walked halfway
around the wo
rld
on promise of
the glow
Stood upon a m
ountain top
Walked barefoo
t in the snow
Gave the best
we had to give
How much we'll
never know we
'll never know
[Verse]
There were day
s
and there were
days
and there were
days between
polished like
a golden bowl
The finest eve
r seen
Hearts of Summ
er held in tru
st
still tender,
young and gree
n
left on shelve
s collecting d
ust
not knowing wh
at they mean
Valentines of
flesh and bloo
d
as soft as vel
veteen
hoping love wo
uld not forsak
e
the days that
lie between li
e between
