Easterly winds whisking the kids
There are newborns all around
Lampposts guide them but the lights just died there

And they slow to a crawl
Misting aside their eyes open wide at the sight of golden youth
Fathers and mothers gather in numbers when the sales greeter do

Dreamt of the leaves, stitched up the seams and they all counted down
Each one mutter pair with another and the young ones go round
Fading dreams and rich tangerine the sky began to fall
Figures stack up whether they close up, they make the final call

With warmth from the sun and visions of what they want
Rise up as one counting down to one

With warmth from the sun and visions of what they want
Rise up as one counting down to one

With warmth from the sun and visions of what they want
Rise up as one counting down to one
