All The More To Wonder

from Owls | Acoustic Demos by Danny Schmidt

lyrics

The leaves up on the trees today are green green green
And the clouds behind the leaves right now are white as they can be
But the sky behind the clouds, it's as blue as cherry pie
And it's all the more to sit and wonder why

The kids out on the playground they just play play play
The mama of the kid that fell can kiss those tears away
And the dad don't say a word, he just counts his lucky vows
And it's all the more to sit and wonder how

The lovers on the benches they just love love love
And the old men on the promenade preside like silver doves
While the doves and dirty bums eat crumbs of hope and bread
And it's all the more to sit and wonder when

The runners by the waterside they run run run
And the rowers on the water top they skim the top like bugs
While the cattails on the shore they blow like Buddha's hair
And it's all the more to sit and wonder where

The pretty girls with tiny clothes they dare dare dare
The boys with pretty skateboard tricks pretend that they don't care
And the woman in the grass with the book and purple bruise
And it's all the more to sit and wonder who

The sun upon the sunset it just glows glows glows
The moon takes up its perch and says it's time to get on home
And I wish upon a star that it might fill our dreams with dust
And it's all the more to sit and wonder what
