Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Golden gates of rust and vine Stepping through the edge of time Silver leaves begin to sway As the daylight fades away I can hear the branches groan In a language I have known But the words are thin and old Turning everything to gold [Chorus] Oh, the peaches hum a tune Underneath a paper moon Every bite a memory lost Counting up the heavy cost In the glow of amber light Losing track of day and night Yes the orchard starts to sing Of a long forgotten spring [Post-Chorus] Humming low, let it go In the orchard, watch it glow Humming low, let it go In the orchard, watch it glow [Verse] Wurlitzer keys soft and low Watch the purple apples grow Vibrations in the heavy air Tangled ribbons in my hair I forget my mother’s name Nothing here is quite the same Static on the radio Where did all the hours go? [Pre-Chorus] Is it real or just a dream? Stitching up a broken seam Flowing like a velvet stream I’m dissolving at the beam [Chorus] Oh, the peaches hum a tune Underneath a paper moon Every bite a memory lost Counting up the heavy cost In the glow of amber light Losing track of day and night Yes the orchard starts to sing Of a long forgotten spring [Bridge] Fading like a polaroid Sinking in the velvet void Hold the sun inside my hand Walking through the shifting sand Upright bass begins to thrum Tasting sugar on my thumb Clock hands spinning in reverse Breaking every ancient curse [Hook] Echoes in the tape machine Colors that I’ve never seen Echoes in the tape machine Floating in a sea of green [Verse] Shadows dance upon the ground Lost within the hollow sound I can’t find the way back home Underneath the cosmic dome Fragrance of a thousand years Drying up my salty tears If I stay, I’ll drift away Into shades of violet gray [Chorus] Oh, the peaches hum a tune Underneath a paper moon Every bite a memory lost Counting up the heavy cost In the glow of amber light Losing track of day and night Yes the orchard starts to sing Of a long forgotten spring [Post-Chorus] Humming low, let it go In the orchard, watch it glow Humming low, let it go In the orchard, watch it glow [Outro]
