Gladiolas歌词

作词 : Littleton, Mitchell
On the way to California
See my sister Carolina
Looking out on South Dakota
At a field of gladiolas
Gonna sell it in the summer
Leave behind the floods and winters
Letting go of what they suffered
Let it fall away like rain across the plains
From a payphone on a corner
Making plans for our departure
I could wish we'd rush right over
Looking back over my shoulder
Cold December weather
Not keeping us together
It's New Years Eve forever
We're flying down the turnpike in the night
Looking out to the horizon
Anyone could see the swelling of your heart
All the lights that shine before you
Looks so helpless, and so far to see
Someone's always running faster
Towards the anchor that you need
You forget again and ask her
Why the light, it had to leave
An echo in a footstep, a whisper from a portrait
Shows us all the stars you see
