lyrics

Speak to me of tender loving ways
‘cause I don’t think I’m getting there today
one foot then the other so they say

Wrote a note on the train
something in my mind eating away
‘bout how the sun is a guide
and some people never really feel alive

Teleporter take me to the land of beauty and of truth
I promise that I’ll come right back and stand with both feet planted
Chalk it up to lessons learned, no cause for worry or concern
it’s just the little sister of abandon

Fifty thousand ways to leave behind
everything that’s counted up inside
super 8 and stacks of 45s

photographs from a day
one of top ten in my memory
when the sun was a guide
and we followed it along the mountainside

Teleporter take me to the land of beauty and of truth
I promise that I’ll come right back and stand with both feet planted
Chalk it up to lessons learned, no cause for worry or concern
it’s just the little sister of abandon

all our careless ways take their place in history
and i know some disasters were barely avoided
and all we threw away I fear has been gathered and saved by someone
sitting on the sidelines watching everything take place,

so speak to me of loving ways
like a soft breeze upon my face.
a mark that nothing can erase

‘cause it’s too late for show and tell
or throwing pennies down the wishing well
and the sun is a guide
ready with an undiscerning light

Teleporter take me to the land of beauty and of truth
I promise that I’ll come right back and stand with both feet planted
Chalk it up to lessons learned, no cause for worry or concern
it’s just the little sister of abandon
