lyrics

Running through cornfields, the fire is lit
Coyotes are crying, or laughing in fits
And I can’t tell which
It’s a beautiful night to fall in love
Let’s gather the wood and then burn it all down
Burn through the night

In all of the minerals elements made
Dancing in light, a particular shade
Of cornflower blue, oh how it suits you
A clear window through which you look into the sky

The eyes and ears of the fields are alive
Its voices in rows like whispers arrive
Whisper all night

We bury the seeds and then watch as they grow
And bloom in an ecstatic firework show
Bloom through the night

In all of the minerals elements made
Dancing in light, a particular shade
Of cornflower blue, oh how it suits you
A clear window through which you look into the sky

In all of the minerals elements made
Dancing in light, a particular shade
Of cornflower blue, oh how it suits you
A clear window through which you look into the sky
Cornflower blue, oh how it suits you
A clear window through, which you look into the sky
