Porchlight Parade

Paroles de « Porchlight Parade »

Verse

There's a beetle in a bowtie and a june bug in a jeep
And a thousand tiny somebodies too sensible to sleep
They arrive at half past midnight when the sprinklers start to sing
And the porchlight is a palace and the porchlight is a king

Chorus

It's the porchlight parade, it's the porchlight parade
Every marching little miracle the summertime has made
Oh the moths in the marigolds are dancing in a line
And they're spelling out a secret that they swear is only mine

Verse

There's a rumor in the rosebush that the darkness isn't deep
That it's only a blanket that the whole backyard can keep
So I lay down in the clover with my elbows in the dew
And I let the lightning bugs decide what I should do

Chorus

It's the porchlight parade, it's the porchlight parade
Every marching little miracle the summertime has made
Oh the moths in the marigolds are dancing in a line
And they're spelling out a secret that they swear is only mine

Bridge

Mom is calling from the kitchen, dad is dreaming in his chair
But nobody at the parade is going anywhere
Oh the lamp above the doorframe is a little yellow moon
And it's telling all the travelers that morning's coming soon

Chorus

It's the porchlight parade, it's the porchlight parade
Every marching little miracle the summertime has made
Oh the moths in the marigolds are dancing in a line
And they're spelling out a secret that they swear is only mine

Outro

Only mine, only mine, in the porchlight parade
