LYRICS:

there’s a glow on the ripples coming downstream
the yard is a kingdom, secret to me
i don’t want anyone else to see

down in the grass watching ants from my knees
or up in the branches of the mulberry tree
i don’t want anyone following me

sundays we spend with our feet in the water
watching the sunfish flash over the stones
later at dinner I sit like a soldier
hiding inside when I’m home

out just beyond where their voices can reach
thrown from the house meant to catch up to me
but i’m drifting to sleep on a blanket of leaves
and all i can hear is the wind in the trees

sundays we spend with our feet in the water
watching the sunfish flash over the stones
later at dinner I sit like a soldier
hiding inside when I’m home
hiding inside when I’m home
